Michael and Kenneth
I am one of those forgotten poets.But Nature has a way of repaying those who stand and wait. I am happy,yes, but that is all. There is a lot going on about poets who have not been included, and I am amused. What I wrote mattered at some point in the history of Indian Poetry in India. That is all. I am also glad to be sharing this with you. Only hope it does not show on Google.
Thanks
Siva
