Dream Script- Sahitya Akademi Award-Winning Collection of Poems in Telugu)

About the Author Ajanta (1929-1998) Perhaps the only Telugu poet who was recognized as a major poet as soon as he published his first poem. His Cetlu Kulutunna Drsyam [A scene of Falling Trees] made a powerful impression on contemporary literary taste for its perfect control of the free verse form and for its evocative diction and imagery. Ajanta wrote very infrequently but nearly everything he wrote was read and reread by his readers. Ajanta, whose birth name is Penumarti Viswanatha Sastri, worked most of his active life as editor of Andhra Prabha, a Telugu daily. In 1993, his friends published a volume of his poems, Swapna-lipi [Vijayawada: Kavitvam Prachuranalu] for which he rewrote, from memory, all the poems he had published earlier in various journals. This book got him Sahitya Akademi award in 1997.
