Poets applying must not have published a full-length book. 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 for the foreseeable future are welcome to apply.

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.

If you have any questions please reach out to us over message or email at aranyerpoetryresidency@gmail.com / avinabbdatta@gmail.com
