It is a great honour for the Organizing Committee of the XXXIX World
Congress of Poets (WCP) to extend to you our warmest invitation to attend the
above mentioned Congress based on the theme “Compassion through Poetry” that will be held from the 2nd to 6th of
October 2019 at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology and Kalinga
Institute of Social Sciences (KIIT & KISS) in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.
We are very happy
to be hosting this Congress in India for the third time and we want to share it
with all of you. Your presence is profoundly valuable because you bring out the
myriad hues of life through your mighty thoughts and compelling words. Let’s
celebrate your emotions that have found thoughts and the thoughts that have
found words - as Robert Frost would put it, by assembling together at the
spiritual land of India, historical state of Odisha and pathbreaking
educational institutions called KIIT and KISS.
We invite you to
share the words like a riddle wrapped in an enigma swathed in the intimacy from
the soul and plunge into evocative poetry that will gift you an
"Ah-ha!" experience, revelation, insight, and further understanding
of elemental truth and beauty. Lectures from Nobel Laureates and our book
presentation will enrich us in this ever evolving genre. A perfect break from
the academia of poetry, we shall dance and sing by the ocean and relive the
history in the sun temple of Konark. The event will also be graced with the
presence of authors, academicians and eminent personalities from all across the
globe an amalgamation of literature, art, culture and tradition under one
umbrella.
I, hereby, request you to pay US$50 as the registration fee and US$50
as the fee for publication of Anthology of Poems during the Congress. You are
also requested to contribute US$100 as
the annual membership fee for World Academy of Arts and Culture( WAAC).
As the President
of 39th World Congress of Poets, I,
hereby extend my warm hospitality free of cost which includes pick up from the
airport, accommodation in our premium university guest house, hotels, local
travel and other logistics during the period of the Congress. You are requested
register yourself for attending the Congress from the website (wcp.kiit.ac.in) before 15 August 2019. The aforesaid payments should be made online
at the time of registration. Should you have any queries in this regard, please
mail us at wcp.2019@kiit.ac.in
We will be in
touch with you until we can all reunite forming a single heart that beats for
the love in our Universe and compassion for all.
With our best
wishes,
Prof. Achyuta Samanta
