Women’s poetry discussed in the Belletristic literature session

Solan, April 22

Belletristic literature society of the Department of English at Shoolini University held a session with Ms. Neha Bansal, IAS, who has recently brought out a collection of poems titled “Herstory” published by the Sahitya Akademi.

A student of English literature, Neha is a literature buff and has had the good fortune to teach literature to both undergraduate and postgraduate classes until she joined the civil services. She is an officer of the 2010 batch of the Indian Administrative Service now posted as Commissioner of Food Safety in Govt. of NCT of Delhi. Her interest lies in reading literature, history, mythology, and travel writing.

Ms Bansal’s book, “Herstory”, is an anthology of poetry that has been published by Sahitya Akademi. Through her poetry, she attempts to give a voice to the hitherto voiceless as it makes the given grand narratives, which she sees as mighty and infallible fortresses, a little less formidable. This is her first collection and she hopes to continue writing.

Belletristic, the literary society of the Department of English, Shoolini University, continues to hold literary events on Fridays.
