“Sadly, but certainly, a promising genre of literature in poetry that began with pomp and a loud thud, a banger and an emphatic entry in the public domain with so many expectations, has been circumambulating the corridors of university classrooms and the decision war-rooms of the government-funded and apparently biased award bodies.”

“It is not the quantity of reading but the quality of engagement that defines literary worth.”
― Alok Mishra

“When poetry becomes synonymous with examination stress, it is unsurprising that readers abandon it once formal education ends.”
― Alok Mishra
