ANTHOLOGY OF CONTEMPORARY POETRY

Poetry can be for individual pleasure, just like any art form can be – following the individual heart and the artist’s whims and fancies and then the world is free to accept or reject it. Even in that, there is something of society that the artist creates. No work of art exists in a vacuum. The common lament is that there are not enough poets and too many politicians. But it is equally true that there are poets lurking in every hidden corner of a home- waiting to be discovered. We aren’t a Dead Poet’s society-not yet! That itself should give any country or culture hope. This is what essentially made us at Cocoa Butter come up with the idea of a poetry competition that would result in an anthology!
