Abstract

Abstract Nissim Ezekiel is one of the best known writers of modern period. Awarded with the prestigious Padmashri in 1988 and Sahitya Akademi in 1983, he is also referred to as the “Godfather of Indo Anglican poetry” and is unarguably the pioneer of Indian-English poetry, father of post-independence and modern poetry of India. With the use of common themes, easy diction and realistic sensibility, Ezekiel paints the struggles of Indian society with modern innovations and techniques laying enormous influence throughout the sub-continent. His work is often seen in similar light of R.K. Narayan. Wide population relates and identifies with his works as he deals with themes based on daily life of India with central concerns on familial issues, individual human condition, poverty and skeptical societal norms, all emphasized with use of irony and satire. Beginning with A Time to Change, his other collection of poetry, numbering to ten, portrays concern for human aspects of life.
