Artist Statement for Seshendra Sharma
|
|
|
Seshendra Sharma is a colossus of modern Indian poetry. He is recipient of the central Sahitya Academy Fellow ship, the highest honor in the literary world of India reserved for immortals of literature. This site presents the essence of the millennium in poetic form. Seshendra’s literature is a unique blend of the best of poetry and poetics.
In his 1840 feature entitled" the hero as poet’" Thomas Carlyle defines a poet’s role gloriously. Carlyle maintains that the poet-prophet speaks to the noble, the pure; thetype for all times and places. Seshendra sarma, the rebel poet of Andhra Pradesh is an example of such an Indian poet-prophets, the"spirits Fierie", who drive the dead thoughts over the universe like withered leaves and quicken the birth of a new, better tomorrow.
Seshendra sarma, born in 1927,is a coastal Andhra product. A highly educated and conscious poet with a marked academic and bureaucratic profile. But it is not his visibility in seminar circuits and academic circles that has endeared him to the Andhrites-To Andhrites-and those other Indians who read him in translation-seshendra sarma is the Revolutionary Poet Prophet. His poetry celebrates the clarion-call of resistance.
