|  | | New Indian English Poetry: An Alternative Voice: R.K.Singh (ed.I.K.Sharma)
The three-layered book presents a new face in the supermarket of poetry in English in India. About fifteen scholars, young, middle-aged, and nenerable examine from diverse angles the mystique of R.K.Singh's oetry. The poet himself unveils certain secrets of his art and heart. Foreign readers take strong postion largely at variance with each other and argue their case with utmost sharpness. Such explosive comments find their rightful place in this all-inclusive book.
At the same time, the book clarifies certain issues regarding the creative use of English in India and modern poetry.
In addition, it challenges critics who see nothing but 'chaos' in the world of poetry.
Though the book centres round a single poet, R.K.Singh, it, on the whole, advances a cause which should be dear to every reader of poetry in English in India.

I don't know if scholars could reflect on Sri Aurobindo's massive epic insome new and challenging ways and relate it to things now, but as I re-view SAVITRI or re-read my articles published in various journals, i become aware of the eternal | |  | | The River Returns
A Collection of tanka and haiku poetry, mostly in free form rather than the conventional 5-7-5-7-7 or 5-7-5 rhythm. The poems elevate the quotidian experiences to the level of poetry using the tanka and haiku form.
TANKA: She is no moon yet she drifts like the moon, takes care of him from the sky-- meets him for a short, waxing leave him for a long, waning At the river she folds her arms and legs resting her head upon the knees and sits as an island Drinking evening star blue green patterns before eyes no meditation no god visits to forgive the sinning soul in solitude Afternoon dancing on the waves-- receding sea then a lashing roaring wall of water, returning sea *** HAIKU: Suspended on the spider's web-- a hibiscus Taking a nap on oranges in his shop-- a fruit vendor All night trees wav | |  | | You Can't Scent Me and Other Selected Poems
