Goa has a particularly fascinating history, with Buddhist origins, a period of troubling occupation by the Portuguese, and a present that attracts tourists from within India, as well as all over the world.  The history and culture of the place are all worth getting to know while you’re visiting, because they add to the depth of knowledge and understanding.  It’s a fantastic place by any accounts, with an enormous biodiversity and absolutely splendid beaches.   There are many different ways to see Goa, spa resorts offer a particularly splendid view from which to explore this amazing city.

They’re all inclusive, and offer a chance to be in an exotic setting that’s very much like paradise, without having to worry about leaving the hotel at all.  The rooms are spacious and gorgeous, there are fantastic meals to be had here, work out rooms, and tennis courts, access to the beach, as well as shopping malls, and it’s a whole city in one location.  There are plenty of things to see in Goa, however, and should you decide to venture, there are many different traditions of music that converge here.

It might catch your attention, and it certainly caught the attention of Rui Torres and the other organizers of Digital Power Poetry.  This is an organization devoted to developing and marking a new digital poetics that exists in the virtual realm.  They’re itinerant in nature, and never stay in one location from year to year.  Looking at poets who work in the digital realm, using electronic means in some significant way in their work, they serve to introduce the public to the work and to the artists.  When they brought their project to Goa, they also included panels that discussed the different poetic forms that are extremely local to Goa, with some exciting and illuminating revelations.  It also maintained a rough and energetic slam poetry aesthetic, and was an extraordinary work of transcultural dialogue, in action and ethereal, like poetry written on the water.
