Socialism sounds good in theory, but doesn’t human nature make it impossible to realize?
“Exiled” by Madhurantakam Rajaram
This time, it is a Kannada poem that I am reading. “ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತರಿಗೆ ಕನಸು ಬಿದ್ದರೆ” by A.K. Ramanujan.
PS. — In case you come across “Kuntebille” book, then please gift it to me!
Poet, translator, folklorist, and philologist AKR was born in Mysore, India. He wrote in both English and Kannada, and his poetry is known for its thematic and formal engagement with modernist transnationalism. Issues such as hybridity and transculturation figure prominently in such collections as Second Sight (1986), Selected Poems (1976), and The Striders (1966). The Collected Poems of A.K. Ramanujan (1995) received a Sahitya Akademi Award after the author’s death.
