What Is Indian English Poetry Criticism? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Indian English poetry criticism
Is rubbish, awkward and shoddy,
A literary survey
Personal and subjective
Drawing and deriving from
Contacts and access,
Blurbs and promises.

Here in such a domain,
The novices call themselves doyens,
We mean the literary surveyors
Presenting themselves as theorists,
The poets too evolving
From their first poems
And the ramshackle critic too evolving.

Indian English poetry criticism is a study
Of not the poetry volumes,
But in parodies and imitation,
Impact and influences
And borrowings,
Written under
The influence, impact of.

Here in such a genre
The criticism practitioners not,
The novice writers themselves call
And introduce as poets
As it is human nature,
Man lives in self-praise, dies in so.

After writing their first poems
They start calling themselves poets
Similar is the case with history writing,
The novice research students too start calling
Themselves critics,
Critics of Indian English poetry.
