Lakshman Bulusu of West Windsor attended the International Poets Festival held in the New Hope Arts Center on May 31. “I was honored to be present in the midst of New Zealand poets pouring their poetic talent,” he says. He met Gerald Stern, a former poet laureate of New Jersey, and Richard Langston, one of the poets from New Zealand.
Bulusu is the author of “Where Love Blooms” and “Words Too Are Beautiful: 101 Poems that Celebrate the Beauty of Verse,” and “Silken Verses,” a Nook book. He has been writing poetry since the summer of 1983. Bulusu has participated in poetry readings at Lawrence Library with New Jersey Poetry Society.
Born and raised in India, he has two bachelor degree from Utkal University in India. One degree is in mathematics and computer science and the other is in engineering.
He and his family have lived on Meadow Road in West Windsor since September, 2013. They chose West Windsor due to a job that Bulusu had. He now works as a consultant and database developer in New York City. His spouse, Anuradha, is a homemaker; and their twins, Pranav and Pranati, will be entering fourth grade at Village School in September.
“It was great to meet the famous authors,” he says. “I had a brief conversation with them and was happy to learn that poetry is prominent in the world as passion, profession, or a communication medium across the globe.”
