Chitale shared a 'poem' purportedly written by advocate Nitin Bhave which allegedly made fun of Pawar's illness and described him as an 'anti-Brahmin' leader who was destined to go to hell."

What Sparks Poetry:
Maricela Guerrero (Mexico City) on Ecopoetry Now
"And this is precisely where poetry and poetic communion shelter me with hope without optimism; where, in the different languages inhabited by beings with whom I share the air and water of this planet, we come together in longing for and choosing another way of interweaving, of searching inside ourselves for new ways to reverse this disaster." |
