Poetry takes root in the hearts of people, and enriches and resonates the souls of human beings. It is perhaps the best way to express human sentiments which are universal , yet diverse and myriad due to the environments within which their sentiments breed. Poems from the SAARC Region - 2011 is an anthology of poetry presenting a rainbow of 115 poems of South Asia and echoes its district cultural identity from South Asia, bringing together contemporary poets from Bangladesh, India, Nepal , Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. This initiative of the SAARC Cultural Centre is aimed at further strengthening the cooperation among the people of the SAARC member countries by providing a pan-regional platform for the established, as well as promising poets from South Asia. This anthology would not only provide a novel experience to those who want to explore South Asian poetry but also as a reference tool for literary critics, academics, and students of literature.
