Gurgaon-based The Poetry Society of India has released three collections of poems by noted poet from Agra, Rajiv Khandelwal. The volumes are titled ‘Crazy Class’, ‘Adventure’ and ‘Magic Moments’.
Khandelwal has written 150 poems for children and teenagers to provide them “wholesome healthy entertainment as also some inspiration”.
Julia Devardhi, Principal, Nalanda Educational Institute, Hyderabad, said, “In Rajiv Khandelwal’s poems, simple and interesting themes have been animated with appropriate poetic diction that holds the reader spell-bound. The language is clear and crisp with words that rhyme and produce their verbal music.”
