A distinguished new artefact has been emerging as new poetry written by our poets in English. Current poets of the category of Anand Kumar have been enlarging the horizons of imaginative thinking and scintillatingly brief expression. Anand Kumar is a medical scientist of repute, thinking and expressing along fresh lines of creativity. He came up with a theory of his own practice. His uniqueness lies, among several things (which are shown in the paper), in the declaration he makes in earnest in his ‘poet’s note’. With a deep understanding of our native ethos (his poetic work has a strong strain of Nativism). Fancy, fantasy, dream condition, eeriness and holiness are all seen and, more importantly, felt in his creativity. He has a deep understanding of ancient foreign lore, literature, painting and music which he displays with deftness. He declares that there are dreams, silences and screams, noises of varied effects, inspirations whipped with vigor and crafted emotions. The reader appreciates this intellectualization of the energies preceding mind and speech. |
