Talk:Gieve Patel

Gieve Patel doesn't know how to deal with poetry.
What has happened to the Indian publishers and universities? Why have they forgotten poetry at all. The Indian English so-called poets are not the poets at all. They produce merely a bundle of words in such a rough way that we should commit suicide if we call them poetry. Recently I have read Gieve Patel's ON KILLING A TREE and I haven't found in it even a single feature of poetry in it. Though it ironically tries to the conservation of vegetation as its subject. But merely subject is not all in all. In poetry a subject must be poetically treated. It's not a poem at all. It's merely a joke on the name of poem. What are we giving to the new generation?
