[kaavyaalaya-announce] Kaavyaalaya group on Facebook

 

Dear Poetry Lovers,

In addition to this announcement group, Kaavyaalaya now also has a group on Facebook. You are invited to become a member of that group too, if you so desire. New additions on Kaavyaalaya will be announced on that group too.

As is generally the norm on Facebook groups, members will be able to post and comment on posts in that group. Hence, there will finally be a Kaavyaalaya community.

Regards

Vani Murarka
