Brought to you by THE STORY STATION, this Pune-based literature festival celebrates creativity and innovation. The theme for Lit Bug 2024 is art in literature, and I am going to be there with my book, Uncontrollable, my fantasy novel in verse. What is a novel in verse? What is free verse? Explore poetry with me, and write poems of your own as I take you to Kallua, the capital of the Powered World.
Using two excerpts from Uncontrollable as mentor texts, we will write a pair of poems, exploring an emotion, or perhaps something fantastical.
