Reflections R.K. Singh*s Poetry and Self

The growing interest in Indian English poetry provides me with an opportunity to reflect on what I have composed over the years via the interviews with various poet-friends, editors and scholars who tried to probe my creativity, life and mind from time to time. Though I value readers’ autonomy in appreciation of a poem, my response to questions related to my own background, and certain themes and characteristics of my poems; my views, opinion and attitude to certain issues; my broad concerns and experiences; and other biobibliographical queries may be helpful to researchers and students keen to academically explore my poetry. --Ram Krishna Singh
