Conifers Call: Shimla Journal of Poetry and Criticism is primarily a poetry journal devoted to the most noble and thought provoking genre of creative writing. Poetry has been at the root of human mind from the times immemorial and has manifested its multiple dimensions vide diverse forms of expression. It has provided a universal vehicle that bridges the emotions and sentiments of man. The current endeavour is not a novel one as thousands of such fellow streams are on the flow but the one distinct way it proposes to be part of is the contemporary ecological and environmental concern with back to nature call as the title itself would produce the image at the very first sight. The mental landscape of the journal longs for all that the nature beautiful offers and when it comes to nature where do we stop and what can we drop, is a complex question. However, this doesn’t imply that the journal is devoted exclusively to the stated theme rather it would provide a crossroad where poetry of nature, love, fraternity, peace, rights and justice would join to bring together the poets of the world. The related genres of creative writing together with criticism would also be inducted, though selectively to make the journal more readable and acceptable.
