Webinar on ‘The Writer's choice’ organised at Shoolini Univ

Solan, Aug 8 (UNI) A fascinating session on 'The Writer's choice' was organised by Belletristic, the literature society of Department of English at Shoolini University.
The speaker for the session was the renowned Indian poet and author, Padmashri Keki Daruwalla. He is a former Indian Police Service officer. He was awarded the Sahitya Akademi, Award by the Sahitya Akademi India’s National Academy of Letters, in 1984 for his poetry collection, 'The keeper of the dead.' He also received the Commonwealth Poetry Prize for Asia in 1987. In 2014, he was awarded the Padmashri, the fourth highest civilian award in India.
Keki talked about his all-time favourite text, Dante's Divine Comedy, the Cantos of Inferno and also read some of his own poems. He had imagined his recent Naishapur to Babylon, published in 2018, to be his last poetry book, but the pandemic-induced lockdown compelled him to write verse again.
