We will be much obliged if you could make it convenient to attend our festival.”
“I’m looking forward to this event as the only African poet in this edition.
I was also chosen to read Mark Delouze, a French celebrated poet and writer’s work in English,” said Heart in an interview.She further said after receiving the invitation she approached business people and possible sponsors to help finance the Indian trip."I already have a sponsor from Botswana which I will reveal later,” she said.Her selection follows Heart’s swift response in sending 10 poems at the request of the organising committee.The 10 poems will be translated to Hindi and Malayam.
In addition the poems will be included in the festival’s Poetry Anthology to be published during the week of the festival.
