A book in the format of Naani Poetry.
I would call it Modern Naani.
Naani is one of India's most popular Telugu poems. Naani means an expression of one and all. It consists of 4 lines, the total lines consist of 20 to 25 syllables. The poem is not bounded to a particular subject. Generally it depends upon human relations and current statements. This poetry was introduced by one of the renowned Telugu poets Dr. N. Gopi, presently working as vice-chancellor to Telugu University, Andhra Prahesh.
Within the book is one one my Trubute Poem with illustrations of American Songwriter and Singer, Ms. Loretta Lynn.
