Literary Vigor Erupts: Stirring Revelations by The Indian Literary Review Magnate
The literary landscape in India is about to witness a transformative era with the launch of Carpe Verba, a contemporary literary movement by The Great Indian Review and Writers' Kalam Publishing. The name, derived from Latin, means "Seize the Words," encapsulating the movement's mission to reclaim the written voice and promote empowerment, social realism, and healing through literature.
Carpe Verba is more than just a literary series; it's a movement, a mirror, and a memory, fostering bold narratives that engage with themes of identity, gender equality, mental health, and social change. By using literature as a tool for healing and transformation, the movement seeks to provide a platform for marginalized voices and encourage creative voices to explore and express their truths.
Participation in Carpe Verba is open to all writers who wish to contribute original works such as poetry, essays, or stories that align with the movement’s ethos of empowerment and social consciousness. Writers can submit their works to The Great Indian Review or publications by Writers' Kalam, which serve as launching pads to showcase these voices. Participation may also include joining literary events, workshops, or awards connected to the movement, where writers can collaborate, learn, and promote literary excellence in alignment with Carpe Verba’s goals.
The response to the inaugural week of Carpe Verba was overwhelming, with submissions demonstrating emotional depth and artistic sincerity. Writers were invited to open the treasure chests of their pasts, and the theme "Memories" saw a diverse range of stories spanning cities, dialects, and professions.
As we move into Week 2, the theme shifts to "Mother," promising to deepen the pages of this literary voyage with tenderness and tributes. The week will feature submissions like Priyanka Bhandarkar's The Journey of the 90s: An Era of Transformation, Ashika Umesh's Waters of Oblivion, and Abhishek Kumar Singh's Lessons in the Fog.
For those interested in submitting their works or joining the movement, the official Submission Form can be found on www.gibooks.in. Writers are encouraged to look for calls for submissions or announcements by The Great Indian Review and Writers' Kalam Publishing for specific guidelines.
Carpe Verba could be the beginning of a new literary era in independent Indian writing, providing a space for writers to seize the words and create narratives that resonate, inspire, and heal.
Carpe Verba isn't limited to literature; it also extends to the home-and-garden sector, as it encourages writers to explore themes of transformation and empowerment in various aspects of life. By sharing personal stories or essays about home renovations, gardening methods, or lifestyle changes, writers can contribute to the movement's mission.
In addition to contemporary literature, the Carpe Verba movement promotes a comprehensive lifestyle philosophy, inviting writers to delve into the intertwining realms of home, garden, and self-improvement, fostering a holistic approach to personal growth and community development.
