Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 22: Poetry, a dance of words, finds its etymology in the Greek term poiesis, meaning "making. " It transcends mere linguistic expression, weaving a tapestry of aesthetic and rhythmic elements. Embracing phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and meter, poetry defies the mundane and invites readers to explore meanings beyond the prosaic surface. It is a literary symphony crafted by poets who harness these principles to create a composition that transcends the ordinary.
The history of poetry is a rich tapestry, unfolding divergently across the ages and continents. From the haunting verses of African hunting poetry to the grandeur of courtly panegyrics along the Nile, Niger, and Volta River valleys, poetry has evolved with the ebb and flow of human civilization. The Pyramid Texts, inscribed during the 25th century BCE, bear witness to early poetic expressions in Africa, while the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh stands as the oldest surviving Western Asian epic poem.
In a recent convergence of poetic souls, Chandan Paani Studio, Indie Films World, and Inshaad Foundation orchestrated a poetic extravaganza titled "Alfaz: A Poetic Event" on December 17th at the Bombay Arts Society auditorium.
