Global Poetry was conceptualised as a project in the year 2000 to bring together some of the most special poets from common people around the world with a view to exhibiting poetry that can inspire inner human transformation and also poetry that has stood by the sides of social change and raised voices for important concerns. Although poetry may not be as much read by people as other literary works, it still holds the richness of the human spirit that serves as a strong voice to call for a change, be it in an individual or in society. At the conceptualisation of this project, it was intended that unknown poets with special talents from around the world will be brought together and this website be used as a platform as their shared voice, be it to individuals who read their work, or even to raise their voices for international concerns. Written word is indeed powerful, and in the recent years the use of social networking sites to have thousands of people get together for a concern is quintessential example of this. Global Poetry as a project therfore intended to develop this strong network of individuals to promote creativity and strong voices in a globalised world where in spite of highly accellerated benefits from globalisation, national, regional or ethnic identities still conflict with each other - being ignorant of a shared identity. Global Poetry was intended to be a celebration of poetic thought that could reveal rights from wrongs, and that could use creativity to promote a shared identity - often referred to as global citizenship. 'Such is the power of poetic thought' - with this as the basis, this project was initiated by Sumeet Grover, a poet from the Indian Subcontinent, who now has England as his home for last some years. At the beginning of this decade, the project was quite active with participation from many people. Although at present it is not in active state, but not in dormant state either. As a reader, you are welcome to get in touch with Sumeet Grover and share your thoughts and ideas. He can be contacted on: mail -at- sumeetgrover -dot- com. It takes one person to start, but always good to have companions to take the ideas and beliefs forward.
