FYI: the naani poetry form was created by Indian poet and retired professor Dr. N Gopi. Naani is a short form, like haiku or senryu, with a set line- and syllable-count: 4-lines with 20 syllables total. Unlike haiku, naani poems are typically written about people, or on the human condition.
Just reading the list exhausts me! Best of luck on all your authoring.
congratulations on the new book, and what a busy month! I will keep an eye out for the events.
