Time changes everything, but it occurs to me that, many a times, it is the time that denies change. Speaking of which, I am reminded of how desperately I have been longing for a change in the trends of prescribing, reading, and thinking poetry in India (with poetry, here, is meant Indian Poetry in English). I distinctly remember, during our Masters we used to read all sorts of British poets, beginning with Chaucer to Eliot and beyond, but when I think of Indian Poetry in English, it becomes difficult to remember more than ten names which include poets like Kamala Das, Toru Dutt, R. N. Tagore, Nissim Ezekiel, Jayanta Mahapatra, Shiv K Kumar, Keki N. Daruwalla, etc. It is unfortunate on the part of Indian students that we are not as well versed with IEP as we are with British Poetry. Among other things, this paper seeks to discuss latest developments in Indian Poetry in English, and for this purpose I have taken up one of the latest anthologies of Indian Poetry in English, edited by Goutam Karmakar, The lie of the land.
