In a world driven by constant notifications, endless scrolling, and the pressure to move faster, what place does poetry still have?

In this episode of Beyond Words with Sayanta Paul, we explore why poetry remains one of the most powerful forms of human expression.

Discover how poems help us understand our emotions, encourage reflection, and remind us of our shared humanity in an increasingly fast-paced world.

From symbolism and metaphor to personal reflection, we'll uncover why great works of literature continue to speak to us differently throughout our lives.
