An Appreciation of K.N. Daruwalla’s Notes

P. Velmurugan, M.A., M.Phil.

Daruwalla’s Poetry and His Goals

Keki. N. Daruwalla is interested not only in landscapes but also in characterization. Rabindra K.Swain reports, “Darawalla is a master in character sketching, and this art has made him different from his peers in Indian English Poetry. No other poet before him thus far has excelled him in this art” (p.172).

Daruwalla’s poetry is always about the external world. The four images used by him in his poem “Notes” prove this point. Rini Chakravarty writes, “His poetry is always outward moving. The socio-cultural and political dimension of life is always reflected in this poetry”(p.81). Poetry is his soul and heart.

As Daruwalla himself believes that “poetry has to be a social gesture, because on occasions I feel external reality bearing down on me from all sides with a pressure strong enough to tear the ear-drums”. His poetry has social relevance. Society mattered much to him. The society is his in special focus in his poetry.
