2017 - Kazuo Ishiguro Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Man of the year
In literature,
You are, my dear,
Kazuo Ishiguro.

Really, you are
The great
Emotional force.
Really, you are
In memory
All time.

You are, really,
History to the present,
Fantasy to reality.

Really, you have
Uncovered the abyss
Beneath our illusory sense
Of connection with the world-
Rightly pointed out by
The Swedish Academy.

Let me congratulate you,
You are the writer
Of life and truth
Here on this earth.
