Book Description
Diary Poems and Story Tellers Rhymes continues two traditions of poetry into contemporary times: (a) the oral tradition where fables, parables, and myths are narrated in rhymed verse, both for instruction and entertainment; (b) the introspective and reflective written tradition where deep personal concerns emerge in heightened rhythm and rhyme, through images, metaphors, and symbols. This book blends these two traditions, maintaining a distinction all the time. Some of the fables are originally created out of contemporary issues. “Poach Tantra” takes up the problem of poaching through an animal fable in the Panchtantra tradition. Others like “The Snake Story,” “The Comet Avatar,” and the “Katha Serial Saga” (a contemporary retake on the frame story of Kathasaritasagar) are remakes of ancient myths to suit the contemporary times. The Diary Poems are actually diary poems preserved through a period of intense personal crisis and transition. Together with the Story Tellers Rhymes, they try to juxtapose the complex and intricate relationship between the objective and the subjective worlds in which we simultaneously exist. For example, “Curtain Calls” is a meditation after the death of the poet’s parents in quick succession in 2010. “Poach Tantra” that follows is a grandfather’s tale to a granddaughter from an earlier date. At the same time, one sincerely hopes that they are able to continue into these troubled contemporary times, and in an age dominated by prose and reason, the wonder and beauty and possibilities of poetry as narrative and poetry as introspection.

Pages : 195
Book Description
This book invites readers to immerse themselves in the fantastic journey of written text to the screen. It is divided into two parts, the first of which broadly focuses on cinematic adaptations based on Indian literary texts. The second section explores the adaptations of literary works from other countries. In the world of Indian cinema, the first full-length Indian feature film, Raja Harishchandra, was based on a legend mentioned in Indian holy scriptures. Since then, several literary texts have been filmed, and this process has become a popular phenomenon. The recent film by Vishal Bhardwaj, Haider, an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, has raised the expectations of lovers of this symbiotic relationship between literature and film. This book engages with issues like ‘fidelity’ and ‘intertextuality’ in the works of Tagore, Satyajit Ray, Khushwant Singh, Vishal Bhardwaj, RK Narayan, as well as other authors and directors from India and other parts of the world.

Marginalized: Indian Poetry in English
Author: Smita Agarwal
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9401210330
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Indian writing in English, especially fiction, continues to capture the attention of readers all over the English-speaking world. Conversely, the strong and flourishing tradition of poetry in English from India has not impacted the contemporary world in the same manner as the fiction. This book creates a debate to highlight the well-grounded and confident tradition of Indian Poetry in English which began almost two hundred years ago with the advent of the British. Individual essays on poets before and since the Indian Independence focus on the poetry of Derozio, Tagore, Aurobindo and Naidu right down to the modern and contemporary poets like Ezekiel, Mahapatra, Ramanujan, Kolatkar, Das, Moraes, Daruwalla, de Souza, Jussawalla and Patel who ushered in a change both in terms of subject matter and style. On either side of the Atlantic, this book which includes a substantial Introduction, Select Bibliography and Index is of value to scholars, teachers and researchers on Indian Poetry in English.

For Me Thoughts within this book you find, Put into words what came to mind, Thoughts in rhyme on page you see, Were written from an urge in me.

With spelling and with punctuation, I may not have a good relation, So if English rules for you have need, You may not want this book to read. Tony Melli

Book of Rhymes

Pages : 274
Book Description
If asked to list the greatest innovators of modern American poetry, few of us would think to include Jay-Z or Eminem in their number. And yet hip hop is the source of some of the most exciting developments in verse today. The media uproar in response to its controversial lyrical content has obscured hip hop's revolution of poetic craft and experience: Only in rap music can the beat of a song render poetic meter audible, allowing an MC's wordplay to move a club-full of eager listeners. Examining rap history's most memorable lyricists and their inimitable techniques, literary scholar Adam Bradley argues that we must understand rap as poetry or miss the vanguard of poetry today. Book of Rhymes explores America's least understood poets, unpacking their surprisingly complex craft, and according rap poetry the respect it deserves.
