K.Satchidanandan As A Poet

What sort of poet is he? , Is the question, Witty, ironical And existential, Eco-centric Apart from busting Myths, But going by Myth and mystery too. Digging underneath For objects, Face to face with nothingness Trying to define it Gandhian non-violence With the Bhil, Korba and other tribals In lively discussion with Tryign their best to understand Gandhism and the hungry stomach. The poet taking the pages From the lives of Sylvia, Kamala, Mahadevi And readign the burnt poems, Just as the insect keeps palying With the flames of fire To get their wings singed, The suffering daughter's Disease and caring, The old women passing Their secluded times.
