Poetry Outshines Cricket: Packed House for Nayab Midha
3 Apr
Summary
- Poet Nayab Midha's India tour drew over 800 attendees.
- Midha believes poetry's appeal lies in universal human emotions.
- She finds performing on stage more joyful than online presence.
Poet Nayab Midha recently captivated over 800 attendees during her India tour, with an event that successfully competed for attention against a major cricket match.
Midha suggests that poetry's perceived decline in trendiness stems not from shrinking attention spans but from a lack of engaging narratives. She emphasizes that poetry's power to connect with fundamental human emotions ensures sustained audience engagement, even in today's fast-paced digital environment.
While acknowledging the challenges poets face in gaining recognition, Midha finds her on-stage performances to be a source of pure joy and self-expression. She contrasts this with the pressure of maintaining an online presence, stating that the stage feels like home, a space where she can be her best self. Despite poetry's effectiveness in various media, dedicated platforms for its performance remain scarce.
