Journeys : A POET'S DIARY Hardback
by A K Ramanujan
Hardback
Description
A.K. Ramanujan (1929-1993), one of India's finest poets, translators, folklorists, essayists and scholars of the twentieth century, is a stalwart in India's literary history.
His translations of ancient Tamil and medieval Kannada poetry, as well as of UR Ananthamurthy's novel Samskara, are considered as classics in Indian literature.
A pioneering modernist poet, during his lifetime he produced four poetry collections in English, and he had also intended to publish the journals he had kept throughout the decades.
After his premature death 25 years ago, his journals, diaries, papers and other documents-spanning fifty years from 1944 to 1993-were given by his family to the Special Collections Research Center at the Regenstein Library of the University of Chicago in June 1994. These unpublished writings, meticulously preserved and catalogued at the University of Chicago, were waiting for someone to unveil them to a wider readership. Edited by Krishna Ramanujan and Guillermo RodrÃguez, Journeys offers access to Ramanujan's personal diaries and journals, providing a window into his creative process.
It will include literary entries from his travels, his thoughts on writing, poetry drafts, and dreams.
His diaries and journals served as fertile ground where he planted the seeds for much of his published work.
