Abstract
Indian poetry in English written before Independence is too much preoccupied with Romantic tradition and inclined towards idealism and escapism. Indian English poetry of the post-Independence era, to some extent, becomes realistic and deals with everyday problems. Of late, a group of ‘new’ poets called ‘academicians’ has emerged fast. The poets of this group include Shiv K. Kumar, A.K. Mehrotra. O.P. Bhatnagar, A.N. Dwivedi, Niranjan Mohanty, Saleem Peeradina, Syed Amanuddin, Syed Ameeruddin and many others. These poets belong to the world of teaching and they have lighted the horizon of Indian Poetry in English with the lamp of their learning. Irony, sarcasm and wit are the hallmarks of their poetry.
