studying in state universities and their constituent colleges of Uttar Pradesh. It is based on the latest syllabus as Per National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

Uni. Jaunpur, Siddharth Uni. Siddharthnagar and Lucknow Uni. Lucknow (Colleges). It brings together some of the finest pieces of poems. They vary in their themes, styles, thus, introduce a wide range of forms and movements. A brief but exclusive biographical overview of the poet precedes each poem. There is glossary and introductory note to each poem which will help the students understand the poetic texts in a better manner. Most of the important poetic forms have been exclusively introduced keeping in view that students will be able to grasp them easily. Some of the important aspects of rhetoric and prosody have also been introduced in the beginning of the book which will enable the students to do practical criticism. I hope the book will be useful and beneficial to the readers and will add enjoyment and understanding of the poets and poetry reading. The book is equally useful for both teachers and students.
