In the meantime, I would like to take this opportunity to report that two-day International Mizo Poetry Festival was organized by the Department of Mizo, Mizoram University in collaboration with Mizo Poetry Society (MIPOTY) on the 17th and 18th of December 2021 through online mode. The theme of the festival was “Peace and Harmony”, its main purpose was to create unification and harmony among the different communities of Mizo across the globe. More than thirty Mizo poets present their poems and a number of enthusiasts from different countries participated during this festival. Poetry and songs has been an integral part of the Mizo folk since time immemorial and the great advancement from those times to the contemporary period was witnessed during the poetry festival.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the contributors for enriching our journal with their excellent articles. I hope that this journal and future issues to come will be a useful resource for researchers and academicians.
