Today in Literary History
More Literary HistoryDiscover the significance of today's date in the world of literature.
: American poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox was born in Johnstown, Wisconsin. Ella wrote poetry as a child and was first published in a local Wisconsin paper. Being unable to afford the paper’s subscription, she never even saw it in print, as the newspaper did not let her know when it would be published. As she grew older, Ella experimented with spiritualism and developed a modern, optimistic style of poetry. While you may not recognize her name, you may recognize some of her lines of poetry, which have become common aphorisms in American culture. These include “Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone” and “Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes.”

Ayush Raj
Sahityika has been a warm and inspiring space, full of creativity, connection, and growth. It's where I found not just a platform for expression, but a family of like-minded, supportive individuals.
Sreevidya
Sahityika is a sanctuary—a sanctuary where creativity overflows. It has taught me so many things. It’s now become like home, full of fun and friends. I don’t know how words could ever capture the beauty of this place.
Prasidha Jayaramakrishnan
Being a part of group of highly knowledgeable people who share my love for literature has been a liberating journey. Even though I am occasionally active in the group through messages, I tend to stay in track with the happenings of the group. From what I've seen, Sahityika feels to me like a group of non-judgmental people who bring to the table a lot of different views on the world. I've learnt a lot from this place.

Raajameenakshi's leadership. Satyaki's Poems. Shambhavi's events. Sejal's scripts. And the entire team's enthusiasm and participation, it wins all our hearts. Sahityika is a warm, welcoming space which brings out the writer in us, brings out emotions and provides a space for us to connect better as people, unfiltered, unjudged, real.
