4, 5 & 6 DECEMBER 2010 # SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY
My dear poet,
This is Huda (Mohammad Nurul Huda) from Bangladesh. I am founder chairman of KabitaBangla (PoetryBengal), a nationwide poetry forum of Bangladesh. I come from Cox's Bazar, the longest sea-beach of the world, located at the southern coast of Bangladesh bordering the Bay of Bengal. We hold poetry fair every year in Cox's Bazar, also known as Darianagar (Sea-city). This year the fair is expected to take international color with participation of eminent poets from SAARC region and beyond.
I am writing to invite you to attend the fair, scheduled to be held on 4, 5 and 6 December, 2010. We offer local hospitality to the foreign poets during their stay in Bangladesh, but unfortunately we are unable to bear their travel cost (air-ticket etc) from abroad/their homeland to Dhaka due to our financial inadequacy.
Once you reach Dhaka, we would take care of your accommodation, food and travel inside Bangladesh. Poetry reading, recitation, discussion on contemporary poetic trends, sight-seeing and free interaction for reading and writing are some of the common features of this fair. However, our ultimate goal is to stimulate creativity, promote peace and share diverse aesthetic experiences of the practicing poets of today's world. We have a humble slogan, 'Poetry for Human Beauty.' This is now turning into an annual event in the country.
Please send me your resume (say 150 words), a passport size photograph, some poems in English translation and other information, if you find it convenient to attend the fair.
You may look into our website: darianagarkabitamela.blogspot.com for more information.
I am looking forward to hearing from you at the earliest.
Best regards,
Mohammad Nurul Huda
