A seminar on a noted poet of the city, Prem Shankar Shukla, was organised here on Friday at Swaraj Bhawan, Ravindra Bhawan premises. The seminar was organised by Sampadan Organisation for Art, Bhopal.
The seminar was held on Prem Shankar Shukla’s two poems, Jheel Ek Nav Hai and Prithvi Paani Ka Desh Hai.
Addressing the seminar, Shahsank, a senior story writer, said that Shukla’s poetry is all about nature and the love that it bestows on mankind. His poetry creates a great imagery in the reader’s mind and opens up new subjects of thoughts. He further said that Shukla as a poet always searches for the nature’s love, peace and beauty.
A renowned poet and thinker, Anand Singh, said that Prem Shankar Shukla when writes a poem he picks up the bits and pieces from the daily routine of life and from the happenings of the surroundings that make his poetry even more appropriate to read and to understand. He is able to chalk out the different and unique creations from the daily happenings.
Anand, while elaborating further, said that Shukla’s language has maintained the innocence that a poet always creates when he writes anything about nature. Further, these two poems by Shukla, Jheel Ek Nav Hai and Prithvi Paani Ka Desh Hai are like weapons to create awareness about nature among the masses.
Another poet, Geet Chaturvedi, said that Shukla has made a fine use of metaphors and other forms of speech brilliantly in his poems.
On the occasion, Prem Shankar Shukla himself recited Jheel Ek Nav Hai and Prithvi Paani Ka Desh Hai before the audience and he was appreciated by the literature lovers.
