The reading period is currently OPEN for our next season. The deadline is 31st March, 2025. Please go through our short guidelines before sending in work. The tentative dates for the residency are 25th April-10th May, 2025.
guidelines
Poets applying must not have published a full-length book of poems. Self-published books are fine. Work translated into English is fine. At this point of time we can only offer the residency to Indian poets based in India (meaning they live in India). Non-Indian poets who are based in India on a permanent basis are free to apply.
*This season a spot is reserved for a poet based in Meghalaya. If you are applying and are based in Meghalaya, please do mention that and any other relevant details in your email to us.
There is no specific age-limit.
Please email us anything between 6-10 poems with your contact details in the body of the mail and attach a single file of poems in regular font (unless your work/context demands that it be stylized a particular way) with no identifying markers, such as name etc. – the submissions will be read blind.
