The 11th edition of ‘Kritya International Poetry Festival’ in collaboration with Bharat Bhavan, Thiruvananthapuram and Raza Foundation, New Delhi was held from 9th to 11th November 2017. Kritya International Poetry Festival is a five- day long festival which will see the participation of well known
poets from India and other countries all over the world.

The theme of the 11th edition of Kritya International Poetry festival is Poetry against Xenophobia and Racism. This theme has become more relevant in the present times when all over the world there is an atmosphere of hatred and crime against all kinds of minorities whether in gender, race, religion, language, and culture. To reach out to all sections of the society, the poets will be performed at different venues such as The State Central Library, University College, S N College, Chempazhanthy,  Sai Gramam orphanage, and the State Central
Prison, Poojappura.

I presented two of my poems at the session titled, Young Poets from Kerala.
