Indian Poetry in English is remarkably great. The conflict between tradition and modernity at various levels – social, cultural, familiar, national and cosmopolitan is well marked in the works of modern poets. It can be said about the modern Indian poetry in English that with every passing decade an increasing immediacy and heightened awareness of actual Indian experience is noticeable. Gradually with passing time the English language poetry became more Indianized in nature. It is discernible in works of modern Indian poets of English. The book under review is a collection of fourteen critical papers. It explores the works of modern Indian poets who are significant voices of our time.

REFLECTIONS: R.K. SINGH’S POETRY AND SELF: Selected Interviews
The growing interest in Indian English poetry provides me with an opportunity to reflect on what I have composed over the years via the interviews with various poet-friends, editors and scholars who tried to probe my creativity, life and mind from time to time. Though I value readers’ autonomy in appreciation of a poem, my response to questions related to my own background, and certain themes and characteristics of my poems; my views, opinion and attitude to certain issues; my broad concerns and experiences; and other biobibliographical queries may be helpful to researchers and students keen to academically explore my poetry.
