Book Description
Back of the Book
Professor K S Nisar Ahmed (b 1936) is a geologist by profession and a major writer in Kannada. His first collection of poems, Manasu Gandhi Bazar ("My Mind is like Gandhi Bazar") was published in 1960, and since then he has published poetry (15 collections), prose (five collections], and translations from Shakespeare and Neruda. He has been honored with many awards, including "Padmashri", Honorary D Litt (Kuvempu University), and Pampa Prashasti (Karnataka Government).

Living between two languages and two cultures, Prof. Nisar has successfully achieved the balance necessary for the tight- rope walking as a poet. He believes that, "Only when you understand another religion (or culture or language), you really understand your own religion (or culture or language)."

The present volume of 100 selected poems exhibits the multifaceted poetry of Nisar that reflects his creative pluralism.

The 13 translators of the poems in this volume include A K Ramanujan, V K Gokak and Tejaswini Niranjana.
