Tenzin Tsundue, Tibetan writer and activist addressed the Visual communication and English Literature students on the “Ingenious Process of Writing. He shared the importance of Language and how the language identifies oneself.
He outlined importance and parts of writing through his poem. He shared few of his poems and how poems make sense in today’s world. He elaborated that poetry is not always about hidden or indirect meanings (sometimes called meaning play).
Some of the other highlights are the poem’s particular situation, the reader may then generalize; the generalities arise by implication from the particular. In other words, a poem is most often concrete and particular; the “message,” if there is any, is general and abstract; it’s implied by the images.
The students enjoyed the session with this poem as well as his singing with reference to Tibet and its culture.
