Long description:
This volume compiles critical essays that explore the evolution of progressive poetry in India from the 1920s onwards. It underscores the influence of writers in shaping both social and poetic landscapes, addressing themes such as folk music, colonial modernity, regional identities, and feminist poetics. Offering a comprehensive examination of the diverse voices and movements that have defined Indian progressive poetry, the book analyses key figures and movements, including Hemanga Biswas in Bengal, Subramania Bharati in Tamil Nādu, and the progressive cosmopolis in Assam. Additionally, it delves into the impact of film lyrics, the concept of autonomy in Telugu poetry, and the feminist poetics of progressive Punjabi poetry, explored alongside critical reflections on the cosmopolitan sensibility of poets such as Shiv Kumar Batalvi and Pash. The volume also includes a nuanced analysis of Gujarati poetry as featured in literary periodicals, the significant role of Tamil literary magazines, and contributions from Urdu, Hindi, Odia, Kannada, and Kashmiri literature, thereby highlighting the intricate tapestry of progressive thought across these diverse linguistic landscapes. By situating Indian progressive poetry within a global context, this volume provides valuable insights into how poetry has served as a medium for political and cultural resistance. With its interdisciplinary approach and thematic diversity, the book serves as an essential resource for scholars, activists, and students. It offers a nuanced understanding of the enduring role of poetry in shaping political ideologies and social thought in contemporary India.
