  • Introduction
    Introduction Imagine you’re invited to a party. You arrive at the venue, slip past security, and Margaret Atwood is there; so are Michael Ondaatje, Anne Carson, and Dionne Brand. CanLit’s luminaries surround you, and having never brushed elbows with so many prominent writers, you turn paparazzi and start taking photographs in earnest. Point and click—easy to tell who monopolizes the spotlight and who falls back. It’s only once you focus manually, looking for an unconventional angle, that you begin to notice others: a younger, more anonymous crowd pushing at the margins, trying to bypass the guest list. So you raise your camera to include them too, at least those close enough to see clearly. Some of the shots will turn out perfectly—balanced composition, candid expressions that capture the palpable energy of the event. Some won’t. The blur of time will seep in, poor exposure rendering the photographs unusable. You might think I’m describing a Griffin Poetry Prize gala. I am, of course, but this is also the plight of prospective anthologists. Working without the benefit of hindsight, anthologists are responsible for scouting talent in little magazines, hard-to-find books, and critical periodicals. Canonization is a gamble, and time and time again Canadian editors have either gone all in or hedged their bets, offering up both generation defining compilations and remixed versions of established texts. With New Provinces, F.R. Scott curated 13 The Next Wave the first essential anthology of Canadian poetry in 1936. Providing a platform for future icons like E.J.

That is where I got to know this legendary writer Krishna Sobti, who carried the weight of her name very lightly. Unlike many famous writers who choose to insulate themselves within a space that they claim as exclusive, Krishnaji’s immense zest for life, her interest in people, her genuine interest in the works of other writers, and her gift for finding humour in the most unlikely situations made her a very friendly, warm and caring person who touched our lives in myriad ways. Krishnaji left us on 25th January this year, leaving behind a tangible absence. Of her it can be truly said that she lived her life to the hilt, scripting a magnificent life for herself while illuminating the lives of many others who had the good fortune to know her.

  • The Epic Phase in Canadian Poetry
    E. J. PRATI: THE EPIC PHASE IN CANADIAN POETRY Edwin John Pratt ( 1882-1964) dominates Canadian poetry in the first half of the twentieth century and, therefore, he belongs, at least chronologically, toa generation of artists who wit­ nessed two world wars and who, as a result of this appalling experience, set asirle the youthful enthusiasm of the Romantics and the didactic impulse of the Victorians to voice the pes­ simism of the new age. In Europe, the echoes of the old faith in man's ability to achieve a more meaningful existence could still be heard, but the dominant mood was one of scepticism about the progress and future of mankind. Romantic and post-Romantic .poets had generally adopted the role of guides who could provide the right orientation for existence. The most in­ fluential modero artists, on the contrary, chose to highlight man's decadence and frustration Against this, The poetry of E. J. Pratt, seems to be more Romantic than modero because this Canadian artist is essentially optimistic about man's potential and celebrates progress, strength and resilience instead of brooding on life-destructive forces. To a great extent, the reason for this vitality and optimism is to be found in the social and political climate that dominated Canadian life in the frrst decades of this century. In an article entitled ''The 1920s: E. J. Pratt Transitional Modero", the critic Sandra Djwa contrasts the aftermath of World W ar I in Europe and the United States with the effects that the conflict produced in Canada and explains the reasons for the wave of optimism that pervaded Canadian society when peace was restored: In Europe and in the United States, the reaction to the war had been one of profound disillusionment.

  • Questions of Religion and Alienation in Bhisham Sahni's Pali
    www.galaxyimrj.com Galaxy: International Multidisciplinary Research Journal ISSN 2278-9529 Confused Identities: Questions of Religion and Alienation in Bhisham Sahni’s Pali Dr. Anil Sehrawat & Diler Singh Jaypee University of Information and Technology Waknaghat, Solan. Himachal Pradesh. India Pin-173234 The Partition of India-Pakistan was one of the most traumatic events experienced by people in the recent times. The massacre that followed the event was barbaric. The violence provoked by a handful of selfish and insensible people made Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs commit various inhuman crimes on each other. As the two countries were formed largely on the basis of religion, the people who were in minority in a region were forced to leave their homes and all their life-long possessions. The partition resulted in creation of approximately ten million refugees and at least one million deaths. The literature that has been written about the partition has very realistically portrayed the violence and the killings on both the sides. It deals with a variety of themes woven around the event. While some writers have talked about the massacre during the refugee migration, others have written about the difficulties that people had to face during their rehabilitation in a new country. Short story ‘Pali’ by Bhisham Sahani deals with the trauma of a child named Pali, who gets separated from his parents during the partition. Pali finds himself bewildered when he is converted to different religions twice. Also, he finds himself at crossroads when he is expected to forget his past life and accept the new one immediately.

The investigation charts and analyzes the demographics of 64 poets who were published in 1967, and 75 poets who were published in four small press literary magazines in 2010. The 2010 magazines were purposely sampled as representatives of specific geographical areas in Canada (i.e., the West Coast, the Prairies, Central Canada, and the East Coast). The results indicate that in 1967 female poets were less likely to be published; however, 43 years later, this bias has been rectified.

Political activist, actor, playwright and poet, Safdar had been deeply committed, like so many young men and women of his generation, to the anti-imperialist, secular and egalitarian values that were woven into the rich fabric of the nation’s liberation struggle. Safdar moved closer to the Left, eventually joining the CPI(M), to pursue his goal of being part of a social order worthy of a free people. Tragically, it would be of the manner of his death at the hands of a politically patronised mafia that would single him out. The spontaneous, nationwide wave of revulsion, grief and resistance aroused by his brutal murder transformed him into a powerful symbol of the very values that had been sought to be crushed by his death. Such a death belongs to the revolutionary martyr. 6 PUBLICATIONS Safdar was thirty-four years old when he died.

Ravi Vincent Teaching Assistant Dept. of English Andhra University Campus Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, India [email protected] Abstract Chaman Nahal’s Azadi, concludes on a note of forgiveness as the only means through which Indians can recover their sanity. And Lala Kanshi Ram, the protagonist of the novel, feels that to live at peace with oneself, one must cease to hate and learn to forgive. Thus humanism is very transparent in Nahal’s Novels. Azadi by Chaman Nahal accepts the partition as a fact, an inevitable happening and he does not blame anybody for the partition but he effectively showcases the excruciating pain, repercussions after independence in 1947 and halocaust experienced by people around. Keywords: Azadi, Sanity, Inevitable Happening, Excruciating Pain, Holocaust And Repercussions.

The Partition of India in 1947 was such a cataclysmic event for the country. The people who were eye witnesses to the horror and violence of those sad happening.
