Poet R.R.Menon Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

R.Rabindranath Menon, I do not know, why he could not famous
And fame came to not
As it came to the Bomabayan circle of critics
Supported by the Bombayan critics

But most of his books have come out from Writers Workshop, Calcutta
Barring ones or twos from other publishing houses,
Dasavatara and Other Poems (1967) , Seventy Seven (1973) ,
Straws in the Wind (1973) , Shadows in the Sun (1976) ,
Grass in the Garden (1978) , Heart on a Shoe-String (1978) ,
Pebbles on the Shore (1981) ,
Poems 1985 from Garuda Printers & Publisher from Cochin in 1986,
Sounds of Silence, ICASEL, Mysore in 1993,
Ode to Parted Love and Other Poems from Jaico, Bombay in 1958,
Tell of his poetic corpus,
Initialled or untialled into the realms of Indian poesy.

An IAS, retiring from his last assignment as being Principal Secretary
To the Govt. of Bihar at Ranchi
And Regional Development Commissioner,
He held different postings and palcements
From the professional side
But as a poet,
The things need to be perused,
The stature yet to be determined
Though his presence is there in the unrevised history books
As a minor.

Menon as a poet is one of the modern age
And writes laden and weighty stanzas,
Laying bare the truths,
The bare truths and realities
of modern world and civilisation
And the life-style connected with,
Somewhere outdoes with his thought and reflection,
Thought and imagery.
