SAPNE Meeting November 21

Every living being gets attached to the birth place – the locality, the environment, the scenery, the water and people get imprinted in the being.  In the vegetation and animal world, we call it habitat and it the human world we call is society. Trees, flowers and fruits get localized to particular areas and perish with dislocation.  Animals create seasonal homes in search of food and operate on local migration.  Human beings are most vulnerable and migrate for safety and security. Large scale migration for fear of life is a new world phenomenon. 

Total abandonment of the birth place and searching for a new habitation is an internal human story.  It is only felt, rarely said.  In certain parts of the world, it is a story of daily life.  In our Fall meeting coming Sunday, the South Asian Poets of New England plans to explore the internal voice of migration in an assembly called “Voice of Migration”.   It is a part of our normal Fall series “Voice of the People.”

Voice of migration is possibly a voice reflecting adventure, uncertainty, hope and spirituality.  There is pain, friendship, understanding and camaraderie. The renowned Spanish poet Sergio Inestrosa of Mexico will be our guest.  The participating poets are listed below:
