A
journey of acceptance. A journey into the self.

truth into a Ghazal, that will leave you spellbound

6) Jonathan
Mendoza –
Confessions on Gratitude


“I do not believe anyone died
because they were not strong. I believe I survived because I was lucky.”
One of the
submissions from the 2017 Button Poetry video contest.

“I’m
everything the ground did not bury.” – 
Jonathan Mendoza
7) Mai Namaaz Nahi
Padhunga, a poem that appeals to humanity rather than religion.
-Qais Jaunpuri


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYHt4U0tvcY#action=share
Qais,
a civil engineer-turned-founder of Aao Kahen Dil Ki Baat, a
real life sharing program that allows people to share their secrets in public,
writes defiant pieces that usually question social institutions and power
dynamics. He is also a part of the acclaimed theatre groupJashn-E-Qalam Storytelling.
His poems, performed in Hindi and Urdu, are beautiful because of their
simplicity, making them all the more impactful.
8) ‘When he told me he no longer loved
me’, a rendition on heartbreaks
–Priya Malik


    
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0WprVHVhlk&feature=youtu.be

Priya Malik, also a famous television personality, has been making waves in the
spoken word poetry scene of India. Her poems are presented as “streams-of-consciousness,”
perfectly reflecting thoughts from the deepest, darkest corners of our minds.
Her poems are frank and talk about female sexuality, her identity within the
Indian diaspora, and romantic relationships in this age. She performs in Urdu
and English.
So while there are plenty of others who are not mentioned over here, poetry is undergoing through a massive transformation and here are some major poets to keep your eyes on the lookout on!
