The Missing Man Of Indian English Poetry, Adil Jussawalla Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

A poet of the missing man,
Adil Jussawalla himself is the missing person
Of Indian English poetry,
The Parsi man and poet
Who kept silent
After Land's End and Missing Person
And again returning
After a thirty-five year interval.

A poet of the missing man,
His protagonist,
I mean the poetic persona
Too is the missing person,
The modern hollow man,
The protagonist of the urban space,
Marking the land's end.

Thinks he privately and personally,
How did the ancestors from Persia,
Where his homeland,
What his identity,
Ethos, history and culture,
The mother tongue of his
And the alternatives?
