Spontaneously reciting the prose of Kannada legendary poets in her inaugural address, renowned writer Vaidehi called upon the audience to save Kannada poetry from the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI).

Inaugurating the five-day event of Bahurupi Kavigoshti (Poets’ Meet) organised at B.M. Sri Auditorium of the Kuvempu Institute of Kannada Studies as part of Dasara festival, under the University of Mysore on Tuesday, Ms Vaidehi spoke about the essence of poetry and said that poetries transcend time. Poetry begins with a mother’s lullaby, making her Adi Kavi(first poet), she said. Vaidehi also recited the poetic lines of ‘Gokula Nirgamana’ by poet P. T. Narasimhachar.
