Chennai: For the past half a year in locking, project members have met virtually, for every poetry and reason.
Poetry, because it is a media choice for this aspiring poet.
The reason is because it helps them overcome it, share thoughts, talk or just show off their talents, especially during pandemics.
“There are several open mics for stand-up comedy, but I found almost no poetry,” said Poornima Mohan, a graduate from the University of Hindustan, and the founder of the Project Project.
Before locking for months, Poornima said they were hosting several events including poetry slams but over the past year, moving their microphones and open workshops online.
“We have more than 150 at clubs from school students to more than 60s, all of which exhibited original works,” he added.
Actually there are some collectively in Chennai taking poetry to the virtual space.
A little more than a year ago, for example, it was Professional Padmavathi M, founded draft deleted, platform for prospective poets and storytellers, especially those who made work in Tamil.
“There are several online platforms for English and Hindi poets, but almost nothing for those who write Tamil poetry.
Here, we upload jobs on our YouTube channel and accommodate an open mic every month,” he said.
In ‘home t’, virtual poems and open music – locking sessions when they are called – host every Sunday.
“The program was ticketed and we featured four musicians and poets who aspired high,” said the founder of Thomas Davis.
“We have several themes in the past year from Covid-19 to be mental stress and problems faced at home against politics.” Student R Banu Banu said the pandemic affected the poem he wrote and served on Mics open for the past year.
“At the beginning of the Kuncian last year, I found the privilege of complaining about having to stay in the room, even considering thousands outside who did not have a way to reach their house.
It inspired one of my poems,” he said.
Grade 10 students and Candidates for poets Neha Leen Wilson said his work was about his personal trip, especially during a pandemic.
“I did some poems about my experience with depression,” said Neha, who participated in the manufacturer of open project mics.
“There is no one else in my family who wrote so that this community also helped me grow up as a poet.”
