'Kindly Exaggerate'
Lecture Poiesis by M R Vishnuprasad
The performer raises the question- what is poetry? Beyond the answers learned from schools and colleges, unexpected and unprecedented perspectives are obtained from the streets and everyday living spaces. This performance is merely an interlude amidst the ongoing travels of the performer, along with the question, ‘what is poetry?’ Beyond the formulaic responses obtained from schools and colleges, the act of informal inquiry considers the knowledge and thoughts of myriad humans from all walks of life. Here, the question, `what is poetry?’ is a vehicle. This query travels through streets, gali-s, market places, villages, cities, and reaches everyone’s ears. Finally, the question `what is poetry?’ has reached you too. Everyone, kindly exaggerate!
