The love of poetry is sometimes viewed as a hobby for the pretentious. But for poets, it’s an expression of life, as the recital held this Saturday at the Nehru Centre Library demonstrated.

In March this year, the library started hosting group poetry sessions with 10 poets, based on the theme of the month, and now, individual poetry evenings held bi-monthly.
