What Is Indian Poetry In English? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

What Is Indian Poetry In English?

Rating: 0.5


Indian poetry in English
Is
Indian psyche
In English,
An Anglicized version,
An Indo-English interpretation
Deriving from the horizon
Of translation studies,
A translator's version
Of literature,
India represented,
Presented to
Those who know it not.

So say you, who can be but only one poet. Do you claim to be able to speak for a whole, diverse, dense and richly textured culture as if it had but a single identity? Better if you speak only for yourself. If this is what your verses represent, then write as a single example, not a statement for a giant monolithic bloc which it is not.
