কবিতার গ্রামের নাম সুন্দরপুর। এটি কালিনী নদীর তীরে অবস্থিত একটি ছোট গ্রাম। সুন্দর নদীটি গ্রামটির মাঝ দিয়ে বয়ে গেছে। এই গ্রামে একটি উচ্চ বিদ্যালয়, তিনটি প্রাথমিক বিদ্যালয় এবং একটি কারিগরি প্রশিক্ষণ কেন্দ্র আছে। কবিতা ও তার বন্ধুরা এই কেন্দ্রে কম্পিউটার শিক্ষা গ্রহণ করে।

এখানে একটি নাট্যক্লাব এবং একটি ছোট লাইব্রেরিও আছে। কবিতা লাইব্রেরি থেকে বই ধার নিতে পারে। সে ইতিহাস, কবিতা ও শিশুতোষ ক্লাসিক বই ধার করে পড়ে। নাট্যক্লাবটি নিয়মিত নাটক মঞ্চস্থ করে। গত মাসে কবিতা নাট্যক্লাবের মঞ্চস্থ ‘মোহুয়া’ নৃত্যনাট্যটি উপভোগ করেছে।

গ্রামে নদীর তীরে একটি বাজার আছে। এটি খুবই কোলাহলপূর্ণ এবং নোংরা স্থান। কবিতা কখনো বাজারে যায় না। গ্রামের রাস্তাগুলোও সরু ও নোংরা। যদিও সুন্দরপুরে বিদ্যুৎ রয়েছে, তবুও গ্রীষ্মকালে গ্রামবাসীরা প্রায়ই লোডশেডিংয়ের ভোগান্তি পোহায়।
