Download or read book Nissim Ezekiel written by Ramachandrapurapu Raj Rao and published by Viking Adult. This book was released on 2000 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nissim Ezekiel was born in a Jewish family in Bombay, and with his poetic evocations of the city, gave rise to a school of poetry popularly referred to as the Bombay school. Considered by many to be the father of Indian English poetry, he has been the inspiration and guiding light for a whole generation of younger poets, including Dom Moraes, Gieve Patel, Eunice de Souza and Ranjit Hoskote. In this meticulously researched biography, R. Raj Rao traces the development of Ezekielýs poetry and life against the background of the intellectual, cultural and political climate in India over almost seven decadesýfrom the thirties to the present. We see Nissim as a curious Jewish schoolboy, a reluctant revolutionary temporarily attracted to the personality and politics of M.N. Roy, a loner longing for adventure in London, and an earnest young man writing serious metaphysical letters to his friend Solomon. The many facets of Ezekielýs versatile personalityýa bohemian responding to flower power with LSD and sex yet striving for an arranged marriage with a Jewish girl; a restless soul pursuing his interest in travel, art, literature, theatre and journalism, then settling down to a dedicated career in teachingýare skillfully brought out by Rao. The last section of the book deals with Ezekielýs increasing loneliness and his inability to recognize old friends, and finally his being diagnosed with Alzheimerýs disease in 1998. Drawing on previously unpublished letters, poems and essays, as well as discussions with the poet and interviews with friends and peers, Rao examines the desires and realities of Ezekielýs life. He brings out the contradictions that comprised it, and which, ironically, nourished his muse. Rao also provides detailed analyses of Ezekielýs poems, locating them in the context of Indian and world literature. Scholarly, exhaustive and provocative, this is the definitive biography of one of Indiaýs foremost poets.
Download or read book Five Indian English Poets written by Shirish Chindhade and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 1996 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In This Comparative Study Of Five Indian English Poets The Main Thrust Is On Content Analysis Of Their Poems With A View To Identifying The Degree Of The Indian Experience And Sensibility As Expressed In Them. The Choice Of English As The Medium Of Creative Expression Especially Poetry Makes The Indian English Poet'S Credentials Suspect Because The Question Of The Indian Sensibility Does Not Become An Issue In The Case Of The Regional Writers In India. As Vrinda Nabar Appropriately Observes, One Does Not Lose One'S Indianness Automatically Only Because One Writes In English Which Is An Acquired Language For The Indian Writer. What Needs To Be Emphasised Is Whether The Total Nalive/Deshi Heritage Is Rejected In Favour Of Some Alien Sensibility. The Present Study Tries To Define The Indian Sensibility And Also Briefly Traces Its Development In The History Of Indian English Poetry. In Doing So It Does Not Attempt A Value Judgement On The Poets Under Consideration, Namely, Nissim Ezekiel, A.K. Ramanujan, Arun Kolatkar, Dilip Chitre And R. Parthasarathy, Who Have Now Been Accepted As The Doyens Of Indian English Poetry. The Book Offers Practically A Poem-By-Poem Discussion Of The Works Of These Five Poets In A Fresh Perspective.

Download or read book Three Indian Poets written by Bruce King and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2008 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three Indian Poets introduces the poetry of Nissim Ezekiel, Dom Moraes, and A.K. Ramanujan--three of the best-known and most significant of modern Indian poets who wrote in English--to students and teachers of Indian literature. Considered to be the founders of modern Indian poetry in English, they became the first post-colonial poets writing in English who commanded international attention. This updated edition of Three Indian Poets was brought out after the deaths of Ezekiel and Moraes in 2005. Beginning with a valuable critical introduction, the book then discusses Ezekiel, whose poetry has deeply influenced and expanded the cultural space for modern Indian poetry in English. Next, Bruce King studies the poetry of Ramanujan, who was the only poet among the three who wrote in Indian languages as well. Finally, King analyses the poetry of Moraes, who, in his themes and attitudes, was the most romantic and sentimental, and least concerned with India and Indianness. Three Indian Poets is a comprehensive study of the similarities as well as differences between Ezekiel, Ramanujan, and Moraes. By re-considering and re-presenting the poetry of these diverse poets, the book captures the poetic and literary consciousness of post-colonial India.
