Beschreibung

His first book, signed 'with compliments, Srinivas Rayaprol'. Quarter-bound in peach linen on paper boards. Dustjacket shows loss. Rayaprol, son of a leading modern poet in Telugu late Rayaprolu Subbara, was educated at Benares Hindu University and Stanford University. He discovered modern poetry in United States, the country to which he owed both an education and "my personal emancipation." It was a debt of gratitude, but it did not make him a wide eyed admirer of all things American. In the final issue of East and West, a magazine he founded and edited from 1956 to 1961, Rayaprol said reading contemporary American poetry with its "beatniks and Jazz poets and the daytime poets and nighttime poets, the poets in pony tails and the poets of hoola-hoop school, I feel sick - of myself, of this world and this present state of writing. " His opinions endeared him to some American poets; among them William Carlos Williams, who was contributor to East and West and with whom Rayaprol carried on a long term correspondence. - from Muse IndiaHe published three books of poems: Bones and Distances (1968), Married Love and Other Poems (1972), and Selected Poems (1995).
