I am Kritya
The intense word power,
which always moves along with the ultimate truth, which exists completely in accord with rightness.

 



Kritya's commitment to poetry is endorsed in the timely issues of its web journal circulated online on the very first of every month. The poems included transcend time and space speaking through the universal language of poetry and the arts. The stake is high for the unseen hands that work overtime to publish the journal on time.

Annual International Festival 2010,

The fifth Kritya 2010 Festival will concentrate on the poetry of exile, trauma and survival. The known poets of exile  around the world have expressed exile in different individual terms. The poetry of exile, here, as a concept has been stretched to include voluntary and involuntary exile not only from one's land and life but emotional, spiritual, political, social, cultural, economic and similar contexts of the term. This would, therefore necessarily include diasporic poetry. Though politically exiled poets experience acute trauma in terms of being politically uprooted from a motherland, voluntary exile and diasporic poems also entail similar pain of displacement and loss of nativity.

Kritya's engagement with arts and the aesthetic experience through poetry and allied art forms has always manifest itself in the blending of the visual and the poetic. On the occasion an Art Exhibition  has been envisaged. Kritya will afford a forum for art lovers the world over to witness a visual extravaganza through the works of upcoming Indian artists. The art exhibition will open simultaneously along with the poetry festival. 
 Film . Kritya2010 hopes to out run the success by formally slotting an entire
session to short film on poetry.  Short films use the language and images of metaphor and metonymy much the same as poetry does. the
festival will be giving a stage to poetry films an order to widen the space of poetry. ...
