Nissim Ezekiel was a prominent Indian poet. He was among the foundational figures in postcolonial India’s literary history. He was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1983 for his poetry collection, “Latter-Day Psalms.”
It appears that the meaning and worth of his works are still inexhaustible for critical works have been appearing continuously on his poetry. Apart from the existing critical corpus, this book explores Ezekiel’s poetry on an entirely different level. It studies his poetry in terms of Indian ethos and culture and tries to discuss it into two phases—the early phase and the recent one. His early phase of poetry includes volumes—Early Poems (1945), A Time to Change (1952), Sixty Poems (1953), The Third (1959), The Unfinished Man (1960), The Exact Name (1965), while his later phase of verse includes Poster Poems (1969), Hymns in Darkness (1976), Latter-Day Psalms (1982), and Collected Poems (1989).
The book, as a ready reader’s guide, will be helpful to the students studying New Indian English Poetry, Comparative Literature and Indian Culture in universities and colleges. It will also serve as a reference book to students, research scholars, teachers and critic.
