Community Events, Awards, and Poet Spotlights
We are a family, not just an organization. From book launches to award ceremonies, join us where poetry is a safe space, a rebellion, and a home.
We celebrate our poets' success. Here is the announcement for the book launch of Divnoor Kaur, a Wingword Poetry Prize winner whose solo book 'Unwinding' we proudly published. Winning our competition can lead to your own book launch event in New Delhi.
The Wingword award ceremony is a cornerstone of our community events. It's a day of celebration where winners, participants, and our team come together to honor the art of poetry and the talented writers who traveled from across India to be there.

We are proud to be recognized as a safe and essential space for poets in India. This feature in the Meghalaya Times highlights our work in creating a platform for young poets to express themselves, win competitions, and launch their literary careers.
We love connecting with authors. Here, authors Rirusby and Andrea Anstiss visit our studio and gift us their books. Our space is a hub for writers and creatives to meet and share their work.
About Community: Events, News & Spotlights
We treat every poetry award ceremony or book launch not as a corporate event, but as a homecoming. When you join our gatherings, you are not just an entrant; you are part of a community that understands the struggle of choosing art over convention. Whether you are a first-time winner celebrating your book launch or a writer attending our open mics, we celebrate the human behind the pen.
Poetry in India is shifting, and we are right in the middle of it. Our events go beyond the stage. We host everything from intimate book readings at our Connaught Place studio to national level award ceremonies where winners from across the country, including Assam, Pune, and Delhi, come together to share their voice. When we feature in the news, like our recent spotlight in the Meghalaya Times, it is a testament to the poets who trust us with their craft.
Many aspiring writers struggle with the path forward after writing a poem. Our community offers that direction. We provide a platform for Hindi, English, and regional language poetry, ensuring that whether you write in your mother tongue or a global language, you have a room full of people who listen. From our Writer's Launchpad sessions to our annual Wingword Poetry Prize galas, these gatherings are about connection. You will meet fellow writers, swap feedback, and perhaps find the mentorship that turns your notebook scribbles into a published collection. Come for the poetry, stay for the tea, the snacks, and the conversations that change how you see your own creative journey.
