Dimension of Nissim Ezekiel’s love poetry: A critical discourse.

Narayan Surjit Behera

Abstract :

Love is one of the recurrent themes of Indian English poetry. Poets have been dealing with love since the birth of this genre. Nissim Ezekiel is one of the supreme love poets of modern times. Nissim Ezekiel lends new dimension to Indian English love poetry. He not only activates modern temperament in Indian English love poetry but also saturated it with new themes and style. Unlike his grand predecessor, like Tagore and Aurobinda, who harnessed their poetic fancy in delineating romantic and spiritual aspects of love, Ezekiel projected genuine human issues like sex and sensuality in man and woman, nudity and nature of marital love in his love poetry. When Tagore and Aurobinda meditated on the union of soul in love Ezekiel traverses physical side of love. Celeation of flesh in all its varied style is the nucleus of his poetry. The current paper endeavors to reflect on the dimension of the Nissim Ezekiel’s love poetry
