| Indian Sonnets Posted: 21 Jun 2012 06:15 AM PDT 
Indian Sonnets by Syed Faizan The poems in ‘Indian Sonnets’ deal with many facets of the ‘Indian experience’ from philosophical and personal perspectives. Personal experiences sometimes inspire in the poet broader meanings, as for instance in ‘the Banyan tree’, while at other times broader general Ideas are expressed in an extremely personal tone as in ‘the Naturalist Creed’. The one theme that connects every poem is an intense self-examination, a relentless search ‘within’ to explain what the mind perceives ‘without’. These Sonnets can best be described as attempts to arrive at a weltanschauung, an all-encompassing world-view that will anchor the poet to moral values in a seemingly valueless world. These poems, if they are effective at all, must be effective as poetic expressions of self-interrogation. ‘Know thyself to know the world’ is the creed that the poet has taken as a basic premise from which to launch his poetic endeavors.
Many poems have explicitly existential themes.The poet finds himself dis-illusioned in the fullest sense but seeks to make sense of his world by creating his own values, imported from nature, from ‘the way things are’, to serve as a guide to the ‘way things ought to be’. Many poems also examine love,both as a cherished emotion as well as a higher means of philosophical escape from the existential predicament. In a world where meaning and purpose seem to desert the individual and all that seems to matter is the self, love emerges as the last secure strong hold of meaning. It bridges different souls, gives them the chance to see the world from each other’s eyes and imparts at least for a few brief moments a complete satisfaction in the here, the now, the eternally ephemeral and becomes ‘the center of the universe’. The sonnets also represent reflections on other diverse abstract topics such as ‘art’, ‘death’, ‘the fear of death’, ‘language’ and ‘meaning’, ‘truth’ , ‘myths’ .Many sonnets are also concerned with concrete topics and experiences such as ‘india today’, ‘meeting a beggar woman’, ‘the poetic traditions of India’ etc. Click on the link below to start downloading this free ebook:-
