 Bangalore Writers Workshop (BWW) showcases 39 emerging global poets with 116 poems in this anthology, The BWW Book of Emerging Poets. This book commemorates ten years of the BWW Poetry workshop with its flower batches inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du mal. We can assure you there is a poem for everyone. Read in order or pick a poem a day. Let our poems move you and inspire you. Come, celebrate our poets with us. 

BWW is the first-of-its-kind writing and storytelling school in Bangalore, India. Founded in 2011, we have since been running intensive and supportive creative writing and other workshops, while building a community of writers in the city. BWW’s mission is to foster the creative mind, encourage a community, and make writers aware of who they are as creators of text. 

'Every poet in this anthology is intense and passionate about poetry, while being unique. A delight to read this orchestra of voices. Kudos to the Bangalore Writers Workshop for bringing out the best in all these poets.' - Mani Rao.

Come meet poets Lara C Caldwell, Nida Sahar, Parnika Reys Gamat, Philip John, Rahul Krishnan, Ritika Chandy and Sarita Talwai.

Join us for the launch of this anthology at Atta Galatta on 5th October at 7 PM!
