Author: Udaya Narayana SinghPublisher: KathaYear: 2006Language: EnglishPages: 112ISBN/UPC (if available): 8189020579 DescriptionSecond Person Singular is the poetic expression of t he epiphanic other-view of love and life that language presents to each individual. Udaya Narayana Singh’s original Maithili poems in this translation present the strange counterpoints that one gets from an involvement with language. They bring out the dialectical texture of the silent spaces in human relationships.Shot through with ardour for the art of poetry and an exploration of the many moods of love in an unmistakably Indian idiom, the poet’s penchant for the miniature image and the powerful word endure in this volume.ContentsAUTHOR’S INTRODUCTION - BY WAY OF BEGINNINGQuarrel with the OceanSeason of Love on EarthYouTales of Days and NightsConspiracyVerbum Sapienti, To DamyantiQuestionsSounds Growing WithinThe FamiliarSynonymsThe SeedAfter How Many YearsWhy Don’t You Write?The SwanDisasterYou Are UniqueOld LoveWantsFor My Husband -1For My Husband -2For My Husband -3AccountsSpeaking for MyselfConfessionLeave a Little SpaceFear-!Fear-2Naming Anarchic PoetMaybe You Will Speak Up!Read Me Your PoemsBiographySecond Person Singular Show more
