Date Posted: 10:02:40 06/21/02 Fri In William Wordsworth terms a poetry is ?A man speaking to men?. Man is the great venture in consciousness, despite consciousness develops new sight and complexities, it holds difference standards at different period and circumstances, but basically it does not change. All down the ages man has had similar experiences emotional< Moral and physical; the same ecstasies and agonies, victory and defeat, dignity and disgrace, time and again his utmost consciousness pokes him for better expression for effective communication, in new arrangements, with changed structures and more impressive words and languages a verse, a poem, a poem or a lyric. For centuries man is in a perennial process of creation ? a creation of poetry. As poetry is an earliest and most intense form of communication among the arts of languages, at the same time, it is also an accumulated observation of man?s emotional and moral conflicts in his relations with others and with himself, but it is never a output of private cult. All five pen pushers, representing contemporary period from the Nepal Bhasa poetry ( an indigenous language of the Kingdom of Nepal), basically their endeavourers are in recollecting and reflecting self experiences in respective compositions, but none of them is of a private cult. Complying with T. S. Eliot, all them admit, ? Poetry is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality.? ?Depersonification? in writing is the trend that they pose at present. Feelings and expression are self-nourished, bvut they are widely contemplation from existing societal realities, which are of rather non-transcendental qualities. Neither thee are ?outpouring of a supernatural force? as Homer had claimed that ?writing as the result of the inspiration of the Muses?, who were in Greek mythology, the daughters of the goddess of memory. In orthodox values, one may include the common parts of speech as well as the more elusive qualities of Image and Imagery, Metaphor and Symbolism within poetic structure and may identify such other kinds of poetry as Ballad, Elegy, Ode and Sonnet. But, things are changed, now, poetry is not merely an alter the normal relations between the words of a prose sentence by manipulating syntax, changing their sequence. It is a skillful arrangement of inner feelings in words and sentences, so that it could express in-depth observation in an effective, artistic as well as communicative manner. Though poetry has lost its public entertainment values and its mass appeal, but on the contrary poetic territory has broaden from individual spectrum to horizon of humanity and self-esteem to aggregate social values. The sphere of poetry has transform from private affairs to public concern. Among five writers, Mr. Pushpa Ratna Tuladhar, who ventured to revel the truth of life in his ?A Cup of Tea? with four slices. Life, a mystical journey, is not easy to define in common terms. From very early days man is wandering for their reach to furtive edge of the life, which us still a long voyage to leap. But, Mr. Tuladhar, with his personal observation and from creative inner sources put into the words ?unveiling every aspects of ?..life to the eternity.? It is a part of ?A glow of the dawn? and ?A glow of eve? where he finds ?the essences of herbs as stimulant to?life? in ?A Cup of Tea?. Concise in composition but comprehensive in concept, is the part of beauty in his writint. Mr. Basant Maharjan, the youngest among the group, who is in quest of total ?Emancipations? (Nirvana) perceives his relation with nature and finds a truth of impermanence. He tries to transform entire his personal distress and delight to realize an insight himself, in no time, but it is in vain till now. In his realm ?Gradually bloom the words within?? him, but he is not conform ?when will?..get Nirvana?? Hunted by the inescapable tyranny of time, and suffered from pain of loss, but he has no pain of frustration and failure and rather an utmost faith for release and peace. Mr. Taba Maru, ho admires in composing precise pieces, in a poetic matter he made contribution of all together seven poems for this edition. ?In the Chivar?s Eye? (In the Eye of the Monk?s Robe) Mr Taba, a personally living in contemporary period, represents Nepalese social environment, he as a person and member of the society, the society has played inevitable role in its part in his writing. He is not a rebellion by character but tries to reject rituality conventionalism in values and norms of his social life. The approach, he prefers in a satirical mode and has a deliberate moral purpose in his writing. In general, his writing express with wit and force and some time with deep feelings. In fine, it is his queries and it is ours too ?If? that?s really holy water, how can that turn into impurity only touching by someone?? Mr Madhav Mool, stood in his personal elegance and essence in Nepal Bhasa poetic arena for longtime, is one of recalled name. Apart from many similarities in feelings and expressions with contemporaries, his extensive concern exceed from peripheries of his own society to depreciated values of mankind at large. As science has made great achievements in may aspects of human life, on the other hand its? incursion against humanity is mounting time and again. The human civilization at present, which is displacing by machine finally, is posing a big threat to be automated itself. So he is with a outcry ?Man are decreasing and decreasing, robots are increasing and increasing? a symbolic and pathetic plight for our civilization. Mr. Pratisara Sayami, a single lady among group, is one of established writer from contemporary Nepalese literature. By inherent, a strong feminist, in most of her writings she very sincerely tried to reflect agony, anguish and distress of woman. As she herself belongs to same community, as an instinctive feelings, bitterness of male chauvinism is dominant in entire her expressions. ?You?ll stop, not me; don?t dream about shaking my foundation.? A strong resentment to egoistic male character, thought it is quite, soft as well as humble but unbending, stiff in determination. Modesty is a rime aspect of her poetry, where, we across with bountiful of pathetic cries of sufferings, torments and boundless physic pain. ?Dancing Tree? is one of her masterpiece. Malla K.
