Now in its fourth year, The Yearbook of Indian Poetry in English, will be published by Pippa Rann Books, an imprint of Salt Desert Media Group Ltd., UK.
Pippa Rann Books will not only publish the poems in The Yearbook, but will also make them available for distribution in and outside India.
Available on Amazon, online and in major book shops, the annually published Yearbook serves as an archive of published poetry in and from India. With so much diversity in subjects and expressions, The Yearbook is already being used in Creative Writing programs at many US universities including the Iowa University.
For the 2024 Yearbook, the selection will be conducted anonymously, as before, to ensure fairness and inclusivity.
A panel of distinguished poets and literati will review the submissions without knowing the authors’ identities.
The review committee which will include members from various backgrounds and age groups, will be announced shortly.
The 2023 Yearbook, also published by Pippa Rann Books, published about 200 poems out of over 800 submissions in English by poets with various different mother languages.
The 2023 Yearbook also included a tribute to Nissim Ezekiel, considered to be the father of modern Indian Poetry in English, in a special essay by Bibu Padhi. Professor and Poet Ezekiel taught the Masters course in Poetry at Bombay University for years and led the Bombay English Association. During that time, he became recognized as a remarkable poet in English, the Oxford University Press having published his famous Latter Day Psalms.
