The Days of a Small Brook and Other Poems: A Book of Dithyrambs, Lyrics and Elegies - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Like the songs of the ocean kept in a shell, 

certain atavastic memories keep haunting us.

Like the lump in the throat they are painful,

Neither swallowed nor spat out… until we meet the right poet.

The award winning film-maker and Tamil poet Seenu Ramasamy dwells unhindered through joys and sorrows, hopes and doubts, the bunds of villages and the tinsel town as well, to sing of them with dithyrambic ecstasy.

Seenu Ramasamy, like a lark mindless of being heard or not, just sings his heart out, unpremeditated.

Here in The Days of a Small Brook and Other Poems, the readers are taken in to the lives of people from reality, rural and urban as well. The Tamarind trees and snakes, frenzied mothers and film artists, love and betrayals, gods and animals, mountains and grandparents all come alive in his inimitable poetic diction.

Here is Indian Poetry for readers next door and those across the oceans as well.

N. Elango, has successfully sustained the native flair of Seenu Ramasamy’s Tamil poems, in this English translation.
