The Fusion of Social and Spiritual Elements in the Poetry of R. K. Singh

2017, The Social, Cultural and Spiritual Dimensions of Modern Indian Poetry in English, edited by VK Roy, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, UK

RK Singh is one of the remarkable and prolific post-Independent Indian English poets credited with more than fifteen collections of poems besides his numerous other publications. There are various aspects of his poetry that draw attention of the readers but the most important of them are social and spiritual ones. On the one hand we find his poetry as a social criticism, but on the other hand we find it imbued with spiritual experience which has not been explored at large. The present study focuses on the fusion of social and spiritual elements in his poetry.
