As a young student, this writer was forced to learn by rote the English poet William Wordsworth’s famous description of poetry as a spontaneous overflow of powerful emotions. Kommuneity’s upcoming workshop in the city this weekend aims to formulate that craft to to help poets recreate this spontaneous overflow better.
“The energy that you feel around people who share your love for writing is irreplaceable,” says Shantanu Anand, vice president of content with the platform. A poet, Anand launched the Airplane Poetry movement with fellow poet Nandini Verma in 2013. Having helmed several workshops, Anand shares that each one is different. “This workshop is a creative workout for the brain,” he points out. The difference is that the workshops on May 13 and 14 in Bandra mark the first time in three years that Anand will be returning with an on-ground poetry workshop.
