Bruce King chronicles the emergence and evolution of a distinctly Indian voice in English verse, examining the lives, influences, and works of major figures such as Nissim Ezekiel, A. K. Ramanujan, Dom Moraes, and Kamala Das, among many others. Written with academic rigor yet accessible prose, the study argues that Indian poetry in English constitutes a vital and independent literary tradition rather than a mere colonial inheritance, shaped by the complex interplay of regional cultures, modernist influences, and postcolonial identity. King situates each poet within their historical and cultural context, illustrating how questions of language, nationalism, and selfhood animate the verse of a generation navigating between East and West. An indispensable reference for students and scholars of postcolonial literature, this authoritative volume remains the definitive guide to one of the twentieth century's most dynamic and underappreciated poetic traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826043302107,"sku":"2026770000678-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/74793efb-da59-4eb9-8910-aa90d6994176.png?v=1780311498","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000678-secondhand-modern-indian-poetry-in-english","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
