Nissim Ezekiel: A Poet of Indian Cultural Spirit

Author(s): Dipika Rani

Abstract:

The paper is an effort to observe poetry of Nissim Ezekiel as part of cultural studies in the light of Indian cultural context. After giving in brief about 'Cultural Studies', the paper discusses Ezekiel’s attitude as a poet, his origin and commitment to Indian land and major themes of his poetry. He treats poetry as a journey, a way of life, a continuous flow and as something which is closely related to human existence. Indian social life, city life, family life, relationship of Indians with God, Indian values, relations and traditions along with certain peculiar oddities of Indian behaviour become an essential part of Ezekiel's poetry and are presented in the this paper through examples of his poetry.
