Book Description

About the Book

Nissim Ezekiel's name is synonymous with Modern Indian English poetry. This book contains a critical evaluation of his poems. It reveals the thematic variety of the poems, contemporariness of the subjects, social relevance of the themes chosen, styles, techniques etc. While the book praises the poetic talents of Ezekiel, it laments the decline of the poetic craft during the later years. This is an invaluable addition to the "Indian Writers Series."

Preface

Nissim Ezekiel's name is synonymous with Modern Indian English poetry. He is the leader of the Indian English poetic movement that started in the nineteen fifties and sixties and culminated in the flowering of Indian English poetry in the mid seventies. Ezekiel's poetic career spans over four decades and he has never looked back since he published his first book of verse, A Time to Change, in 1952. His poetry has attracted the nationwide attention and read throughout the length and breadth of the country among the academic circles. He has received a good deal of critical attention. I have thoroughly enjoyed his poetry. In spite of the critical works on his poetry, I feel, a lot of things can still be said afresh about it. Hence, I have made here a humble attempt to interpret his poetry for those who seek an introduction to it. A bibliography has been provided at the end both by way of acknowledgment and bringing to the notice of researchers the materials available on Ezekiel's poetry. I would like to thank Dr. A.N. Dwivedi, a well-known scholar and critic who suggested to me to write this book. Last but not the least, I would like to thank the B.R.Publishing Corporation for bringing out this book within a short time.
