This truly is a litterateur's delight, as Gulzar, one of India's leading poets, as also a highly respected script writer and film director, serves up a treasure trove of 365 poems, one for every day of the year, written by 279 poets in 34 languages written over the seven decades of Independence and appearing in English and Hindustani. He describes it as his "tribute" in the "difficult times we are going through", to the "many languages of India that happen to be local yet form a part of our national identity".

The selection in the humongous 976-page "A Poem a Day", to be published by Harper Collins in July, has been personally chosen by Gulzar himself, and features the works of poets from the north, south, west and east of India, as well as the northeast, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan, presenting kaleidoscopic view of history, human experience and poetic expression since 1947.

The book began "as a thought - why not have a poem to read for every day of the year, selected from the wonderful Indian poetry that has been written since 1947? I started with some of my favourite poets, but almost before I knew it, we had poetry by 279 different poets writing in as many as 34 languages," Gulzar said in an audio message.

"I firmly believe that poetry doesn't know any borders, so, along with poets from Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala, Goa, Odisha, I included poets writing in Tamil in Sri Lanka, in Bangla in Bangladesh and in Urdu and Punjabi in Pakistan," he added.
