Panel: Verses of Our Time: Poetry and Its Crossings

Poetry refuses to stand still. It moves between stage and page, between languages and traditions, carrying with it the urgency of our moment. In this session, three poets read and reflect on how their work confronts love and loss, politics and memory, the intimate and the universal. Together, they ask what poetry can do now—and why its voice remains essential.

Speakers: Anthony Tao, Helen Mort, Kiriti Sengupta
