Explanation:

The river as a symbol of human life is a cliché and doesn't go down well with the modern-day poets who do not accept the romantic and sentimentalized notion of rivers. The landscape of Indian English poetry is populated with images of rivers. The perpectival array that the entire corpus of Indian English poetry offers is persistent and persuasive; it can unlock an exploration of the instances where the image of rivers embody and unravel unique relationship that the poets have with rivers. In this paper, I attempt to study two poems on rivers by two Indian English poets, Attipat Krishnaswamy (A K) Ramanujan (1929-1993) and Abhay K (b. 1980). Ramanujan is critical of the older poets who only sang of the vitality of the rivers, thereby overlooking its complexities. He mourns the absence of imagination in the poets of the past and the present who fail to see beyond the normative view of life and things. He anticipated a fresh look at iconic rivers like Vaigai. Abhay K is a poet who complements Ramanujan's poetic vision and prefers to eschew the sublime in favor of the grotesque.
