The WE Creative Journey, New Awards '20

Starting with exceptional poetic discourses in 2016, WE have kept the flame of poetry burning in our hearts, forging new bonds and walking adventurous routes. From writing wonderful poetry together at the Global Poetry Writing Month 2017, to being invited into a Sahitya Akademi anthology, WE have explored new forms and published our own anthology of creative writing in 2018. WE received the MAP Leadership Award 2018, and a Certificate from Women Scream International Poetry Festival 2017 and are proud members of CLMP since 2018.

In 2018, WE established the WE Kamala Das Poetry Award. The inaugural award was conferred on poet Anna Sujatha Mathai by revered poet Keki Daruwalla at a function hosted at the IIC Delhi, invited by the late Dr. Kapila Vatsyayan. It was attended by dear friends, poets and writers we hold in high regard.

In '20, while working on the Kamala Das Poetry Award '20, WE established many new awards, prizes and special recognition certificates to honour the literary contributions of women writers. The winner of the Kamala Das Poetry Award '20, is Dr.Sanjukta Dasgupta. The panel for judging WE-KDP '20 comprised Dr.Nishat Haider, Dr.Taseer Gujral, Prof Somrita Urni Ganguly.
