The first organised Web-Anthology of Indian Poetry in English translation : that's the primary mission of MetaNym and here it is. The anthology will be a dynamic one. We need additional poems of poets already anthologised. The poems ( in English translation ) of other senior poets of various languages for inclusion in the anthology are also solicited.

MetaNym is a not-for-profit organization, with a small team committed to promotion of creativity, especially in poetry and, generally, in art and other genres of expression. It is a sister organization of Varnamala. Varnamala published 'A Journal of Indian Creativity : Varnamala' in 1988, edited by Rajendra Kishore Panda, a recipient of Sahitya Akademi ( National Academy of Letters ) award for literature. From the print- medium, the journal turned into a web-publication. When the World Poetry meet was held in India, Bharat Bhavan got access to the works of noted poets of various countries for publication, in collaboration with selected journals. Varnamala was one such journal. Some of those poems and other texts are placed here as archival assets of all-time significance. MetaNym has taken the responsibility to operate the web-journal --- Kavitayan. The journal will contain poems ( especially those translated into English ) and, occasionally, essays and articles, artworks and other materials.

We express our gratitude to the contributors ( including the successors of those who are no more ) --- the authors, translators, artists, editors, consultants and others. MetaNym solicits the support of contributors. If you have significant materials to submit, please click here.
