It will be a culmination of two languages — English and Urdu — interspersed with music, at a one-of-a-kind poetry act to be staged at Cuckoo Club today. Titled Poetrification, this event will have some fine poetry in these two languages come to life in the robust voices of Denzil Smith and Danish Husain. While Smith has chosen from the works of modern English poets like Dom Moraes, Jeet Thayil, Adil Jussawala and Vijay Nambisan, to name a few, Husain will be reciting the works of Ghalib, Noon Meem Rashed, Faiz and more.
