Three Indian Poets introduces the poetry of three contemporary Indian poets--Nissim Ezekiel, A.K. Ramanujan and Dom Moraes--often considered the originators of modern Indian poetry in English. Vastly dissimilar in background, style, relationship to India, and vision, their poetry expresses in different ways some of the concerns of Indian writers in English. This work examines these concerns as well as each poet's major themes and preoccupations, the traits which characterize his poetry, and his evolution as a poet. Providing a brief biographical sketch of each poet, a close literary analysis of his work, and a discussion on technique and poetic process, Three Indian Poets should prove invaluable to poetry readers and those interested in commonwealth literature.
