| urban poem by nissim ezekiel summary: Contemporary Indian English Poetry Kanwar Dinesh Singh, 2008 The Present Book Is A Detailed Exposition Of The Multiple Dimensions Of Creativity In Men And Women Vis-À-Vis The Difference Of Sexuality And Gender As Mirrored In Their Texts. This Innovative And Perceptive Study Confronts The Essentialist Biodeterministic Standpoint That Men And Women Are Out And Out Different, Dissimilar And Divergent. By Discussing The Texts Of The Post-Independence Men And Women Poets Of India And Drawing Comparisons Between Them, It Asserts That, Despite Certain Biological Differences, Men And Women Are Similar In Many Ways. By Employing Theoretical Approaches Based On Psychoanalysis, Linguistics, Poetics, Reader-Responses And Cultural And Gender Studies, The Book Expounds That Gender Or Sexuality Can Make Some Difference To The Aesthetic But It Cannot Solely Determine The Content. The Social, Cultural And Political Milieu Of The Day Plays A Crucial Role In Deciding The Content And Object Of Writing, Besides Conditioning The Psyche And Thought Process Of The Author, More Than Gender Or Sexual Difference Does. This Study Provides New Insights Into The Varied Aspects Of Man-Woman Relationship, The Nitty-Gritty Of Different Family Relations, The Milieu, Human Correlation With Nature, And Metaphysical Questionings Of Life, Death, God And Human Existence, Besides Analyzing The Influence Of Gender And Sexual Difference On Poetic Craft, Particularly On Language, Style And Technique.It Analyses The Poems Of Over Twelve Major Indian Men And Women Poets And Compares Them In Terms Of Diverse Themes, Diction And Idiom, And With Particular Focus On The Workings Of Gender And Sexual Difference.

Kumar And Jayanta Mahapatra Among Men And Monika Varma, Kamala Das, Gauri Deshpande, Sunita Jain, Suniti Namjoshi, Mamta Kalia And Eunice De Souza Among Women.Since These Authors Are Prescribed In The English Syllabi In The Universities Of India, This Study Will Be Extremely Useful To The Students And Teachers.

| urban poem by nissim ezekiel summary: The Indian Imagination NA NA, 2000-06-03 The Indian Imagination focuses on literary developments in English both in the colonial and postcolonial periods of Indian history. Six divergent writers - Aurobindo Ghose (Sri Aurobindo), Mulk Raj Anand, Balachandra Rajan, Nissim Ezekiel, Anita Desai, and Arun Joshi - represent a consciousness that has emerged from the confrontation between tradition and modernity. The colonial fantasy of British India was finally dissolved in the first half of this century, only to be succeeded by another fantasy, that of the reinstituted sovereign nation-state. This study argues that the two phases of history - like the two phases of Indian writing in English - together represent the sociohistorical process of colonization and decolonization and the affirmation of identity. |

| urban poem by nissim ezekiel summary: Five Indian English Poets Shirish Chindhade, 1996 In This Comparative Study Of Five Indian English Poets The Main Thrust Is On Content Analysis Of Their Poems With A View To Identifying The Degree Of The Indian Experience And Sensibility As Expressed In Them. The Choice Of English As The Medium Of Creative Expression Especially Poetry Makes The Indian English Poet'S Credentials Suspect Because The Question Of The Indian Sensibility Does Not Become An Issue In The Case Of The Regional Writers In India. As Vrinda Nabar Appropriately Observes, One Does Not Lose One'S Indianness Automatically Only Because One Writes In English Which Is An Acquired Language For The Indian Writer. What Needs To Be Emphasised Is Whether The Total Nalive/Deshi Heritage Is Rejected In Favour Of Some Alien Sensibility. The Present Study Tries To Define The Indian Sensibility And Also Briefly Traces Its Development In The History Of Indian English Poetry. In Doing So It Does Not Attempt A Value Judgement On The Poets Under Consideration, Namely, Nissim Ezekiel, A.K. Ramanujan, Arun Kolatkar, Dilip Chitre And R. Parthasarathy, Who Have Now Been Accepted As The Doyens Of Indian English Poetry. The Book Offers Practically A Poem-By-Poem Discussion Of The Works Of These Five Poets In A Fresh Perspective. |
| urban poem by nissim ezekiel summary: These Errors Are Correct Jeet Thayil, 2022-07-18 A meditation on grief, These Errors are Correct is Jeet Thayil's most intimate work to date. In poems of tenderness and rage, time blurs into a continuous present visited by Billy the Kid, the Buddha, Lata Mangeshkar, Jesus and Beethoven, by unnamed protagonists for whom faith and addiction are interchangeable, and by a remote god-like figure who will 'lick / your wound with his infected tongue'. A range of fixed and invented forms--rhymed syllabics, terza rima, ghazals, sonnets, the sestina, the canzone, stealth rhymes--make for a virtuosic, haunting collection. Originally published in 2008, the book has been out of print since 2010. With illustrations by the author, this new edition returns to the reader an essential and timeless book of poems. These Errors are Correct won the 2013 Sahitya Akademi Award. |

| urban poem by nissim ezekiel summary: Wild Seed Octavia E. Butler, 2023-03-28 In an epic, game-changing, moving and brilliant story of love and hate, two immortals chase each other across continents and centuries, binding their fates together -- and changing the destiny of the human race (Viola Davis). Doro knows no higher authority than himself. An ancient spirit with boundless powers, he possesses humans, killing without remorse as he jumps from body to body to sustain his own life. With a lonely eternity ahead of him, Doro breeds supernaturally gifted humans into empires that obey his every desire. He fears no one -- until he meets Anyanwu. Anyanwu is an entity like Doro and yet different. She can heal with a bite and transform her own body, mending injuries and reversing aging. She uses her powers to cure her neighbors and birth entire tribes, surrounding herself with kindred who both fear and respect her. No one poses a true threat to Anyanwu -- until she meets Doro. The moment Doro meets Anyanwu, he covets her; and from the villages of 17th-century Nigeria to 19th-century United States, their courtship becomes a power struggle that echoes through generations, irrevocably changing what it means to be human. |

| urban poem by nissim ezekiel summary: The Cambridge History of Judaism: Volume 5, Jews in the Medieval Islamic World Phillip I. Lieberman, 2021-09-02 Volume 5 examines the history of Judaism in the Islamic World from the rise of Islam in the early sixth century to the expulsion of Jews from Spain at the end of the fifteenth. This period witnessed radical transformations both within the Jewish community itself and in the broader contexts in which the Jews found themselves. The rise of Islam had a decisive influence on Jews and Judaism as the conditions of daily life and elite culture shifted throughout the Islamicate world. Islamic conquest and expansion affected the shape of the Jewish community as the center of gravity shifted west to the North African communities, and long-distance trading opportunities led to the establishment of trading diasporas and flourishing communities as far east as India. By the end of our period, many of the communities on the 'other' side of the Mediterranean had come into their own—while many of the Jewish communities in the Islamicate world had retreated from their high-water mark. |

| urban poem by nissim ezekiel summary: Dreamers Snigdha Poonam, 2018-01-25 More than half of India is under the age of twenty-five and the country is set to have the youngest population in the world by 2021. But India's millennials are nothing like their counterparts in the West. In a world that's marked by unprecedented connectivity and technological advancement, in a country that's increasingly characterized by ambition, political power and access, in an economy that appears to be breaking down the barriers to wealth that existed for every previous era, this is a generation that cannot - will not - be defined on anything but their own terms. They are wealth-chasers, attention-seekers, power-trappers, fame-hunters. They are the dreamers. Snigdha Poonam's remarkable cultural study of the unlikeliest of fortune-hawkers travels through the small towns of northern India to investigate the phenomenon that is India's Generation Y. From dubious entrepreneurs to political aspirants, from starstruck strivers to masterly swindlers, she travels - on carts and buses, in cars and trucks - through the India's badlands to uncover a theatre of toxic masculinity, spirited ambition and a kind of hunger for change that is bound to drive the future of our country. These young Indians aren't just changing their world - they're changing yours. |
| urban poem by nissim ezekiel summary: Bombay Modern Anjali Nerlekar, 2016-05-15 Anjali Nerlekar's Bombay Modern is a close reading of Arun Kolatkar's canonical poetic works that relocates the genre of poetry to the center of both Indian literary modernist studies and postcolonial Indian studies. Nerlekar shows how a bilingual, materialist reading of Kolatkar's texts uncovers a uniquely resistant sense of the local that defies the monolinguistic cultural pressures of the post-1960 years and straddles the boundaries of English and Marathi writing. Bombay Modern uncovers an alternative and provincial modernism through poetry, a genre that is marginal to postcolonial studies, and through bilingual scholarship across English and Marathi texts, a methodology that is currently peripheral at best to both modernist studies and postcolonial literary criticism in India. Eschewing any attempt to define an overarching or universal modernism, Bombay Modern delimits its sphere of study to Bombay and to the post-1960 (the sathottari period) in an attempt to examine at close range the specific way in which this poetry redeployed the regional, the national, and the international to create a very tangible yet transient local. |
| urban poem by nissim ezekiel summary: Friend of My Youth Amit Chaudhuri, 2018-05-06 A writer arrives in Bombay on a book-related visit, and finds himself in search of the city he grew up in and barely knows, a city shaken to its core not long ago by the 2008 terrorist strikes-even as he takes for granted his errant local friend, Ramu. A six-foot-tall Kannadiga and one-time junkie who cannot reconcile himself to modern-day adult life, Ramu is an unlikely hero, Bombay incarnate; the writer is his mirrored counterpart in an extraordinary narrative about this city by the sea. Friend of My Youth is at once an unexpected exploration and a concentrated reminiscence woven around a series of visits to a city that was never really home; a commentary on the power of memory and the stubborn interference of childhood with adult life; a paean to the transformative power of friendship by one of our greatest living writers. |
