Received 08 July, 2014; Accepted 21 August, 2014 Sri Aurobindo, a man of the supramental plane of consciousness has found ‘Mantra’ to be the future of Poetry, the poetry which expresses the deepest spiritual reality. He discovers that poetry written from some higher plane of, what he calls, the Intuitive Mind Consciousness and Over mind Consciousness, the two uppermost planes of spiritual consciousness on the plane of Mind is the Mantra. Since man is yet to evolve to these higher planes of the spiritual mind-consciousness, the Mantra is the future poetry. On examination of Tomas Transtromer’s Answers to Letters and some other poems of the present century it is found that the evolution of consciousness is going on, and the poetic consciousness is destined to evolve to such higher planes of the Mantric Consciousness. Key words: Poetry of Future, Mantra, Sri Aurobindo, Tomas Transtromer. INTRODUCTION It raises the thought which goes beyond the strict limits of sciousness which is irrefutably the ‘central significant the author’s subject and suggests the whole question of motive of the terrestrial existence’ (1990: 824). In fact, the the future of poetry in the age which is coming upon us, English literature, and the Indian Mind and temperament the higher functions open to it—as yet very imperfectly come to be the one integral factor for determining the fulfilled —and the part which English literature on one trend of the future poetry.

I have fol­ lowed Mr. Hogan's organization and style, with some slight modifications, particularly in the descriptions of books by Robinson. Although an attempt has been made to be as com­ plete as possible, I certainly do not approach Mr. Hogan's work in this respect. While he says (on p. iii of his Bibliography) that his book is "intended primarily for collectors," the present supplement is meant for scholars and critics who would like to know what has been written on the creator of "Luke Havergal" and "Miniver Cheevy" in the past t\venty-two years.

Although dependent upon each other, these two groups seldom met, as they lived in starkly different neighborhoods. The wealthiest families established fashionable districts in the hearts of cities, where they built fabulous mansions. By contrast, the majority of factory workers squeezed into dark, overcrowded tenements where crime, violence, fire, and disease were constant threats.

ROBINSON'S INTERPRETATION OF TRISTRAM .............33 BIBLIOGRAPHY 44 i FOREWORD ■ The third great epic, Tristram, which was to complete the Arthurian trilogy, so majestically and movingly in­ terpreted the world-famous medieval romance that the out­ standing excellences of Robinson's verse, thus far ignored by the large reading public, forced themselves into recognition, and he, after thirty years' patient waiting and unflagging trust in his own genius, at last was greeted with universal applause. Although America in the interval had witnessed an exceptional efflorescence of good poetry, he was hailed, not only as the dean, but as the prince of American bards.* The writer, who considers this statement as valid, bases her thesis on the premise that Robinson did appeal to the modem reader. She aims, first, through a study of the poet in general, to show how he appealed to the public. Because Tristram is classed as a medieval character, she will consider the possible origin of the story.

  • A MEDIUM for MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY and AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997
    A MEDIUM FOR MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY AND AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997 CASE 1 1. Photograph of Harriet Monroe. 1914. Archival Photographic Files Harriet Monroe (1860-1936) was born in Chicago and pursued a career as a journalist, art critic, and poet. In 1889 she wrote the verse for the opening of the Auditorium Theater, and in 1893 she was commissioned to compose the dedicatory ode for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Monroe’s difficulties finding publishers and readers for her work led her to establish Poetry: A Magazine of Verse to publish and encourage appreciation for the best new writing. 2. Joan Fitzgerald (b. 1930). Bronze head of Ezra Pound. Venice, 1963. On Loan from Richard G. Stern This portrait head was made from life by the American artist Joan Fitzgerald in the winter and spring of 1963. Pound was then living in Venice, where Fitzgerald had moved to take advantage of a foundry which cast her work. Fitzgerald made another, somewhat more abstract, head of Pound, which is in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Pound preferred this version, now in the collection of Richard G. Stern. Pound’s last years were lived in the political shadows cast by his indictment for treason because of the broadcasts he made from Italy during the war years. Pound was returned to the United States in 1945; he was declared unfit to stand trial on grounds of insanity and confined to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for thirteen years. Stern’s novel Stitch (1965) contains a fictional account of some of these events.

  • 11 Ronald Mar and the Trope of Life
    11 Ronald Mar and the Trope of Life The Translation of Western Modernist Poetry in Hong Kong Chris Song Abstract This essay examines the Chinese-language debut of Western surrealist poetry in Hong Kong and its effect on the local poetry scene through the work of Ronald Mar 馬朗, from the early years of the Cold War era onward. It traces the trope of poetry being “true to life” – as resistance to the surrealist influence – through evolving notions and experiences of Hong Kong identity over time, up to the present day in the post-handover era. Keywords: Chinese poetry, translation, Ronald Mar, Hong Kong, modern- ism, surrealism Twenty years since the handover of sovereignty from the British Crown to the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong society has known increasingly severe conflicts with China, fueled by animosity toward the mainland among the local population. Growing up in such a politically intense environment, Hong Kong youths feel that political and economic systems have conspired to leave them a hopeless future. As their demand for universal suffrage in the election of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government was denied in September 2014, their anxiety finally broke into realization as the Umbrella Movement. Apart from responding through poetry to this large democratic movement, some young local poets perceived a need to redefine the “localness” of Hong Kong poetry. Though without much theoretical depth, their quest is quite clear: they believe that the localness of their poetic language lies, paradoxically, in the distance from external reality – a symbolic denial of the Umbrella Movement’s failed demands for universal suffrage, or any further realistic democratization, in Van Crevel, Maghiel and Lucas Klein (eds.), Chinese Poetry and Translation: Rights and Wrongs.

  • Time, Transience and Permanence in Thomas Hardys Poetry
    TIME, TRANSIENCE AND PERMANENCE IN THOMAS HARDY’S POETRY N A I e scholarly critic, when assessing the life and works of a famous writer, must use the most delicate of critical tools to sort and divide a liter- ary oeuvre. Texts must be carefully catalogued and designated in order of importance, yet they must also be constantly re-evaluated and challenged as the passing of time and improved historical data aords later readers a clearer, more panoramic view. Similarly, commercially successful or unsuc- cessful works which critics judge to presage or bookend a literary career can also come to oversimplify a popular understanding of a writer’s literary development and purpose. e literary life of the Dorset writer omas Hardy is oen judged in such commercial terms, and can be seen as span- ning the publication of two of his most famous novels. In 1874, the success of Far From the Madding Crowd allowed Hardy to give up his work as an architect for writing, and its publication launched his literary career. Over twenty years later, the 1895 publication of Jude the Obscure saw Hardy en- dure a welter of social criticism, and this coincided with his decision to give up writing novels and shi his focus to poetry. While Hardy is consid- ered to be one of the greatest English novelists, however, his poetry took much longer to achieve critical success, his verse being considered by some as merely a reaction to the critical failure of Jude. Conversely, Hardy saw himself primarily as a poet and during his lifetime produced a vast body of verse that was strikingly uniform in its thematic approach towards time and memory.
