This anthology fulfils the long felt need to have an authentic and comprehensive anthology of Indian poetry in English written in the post-Independence era. It also seeks to become a repository of the creative aspirations and dilemmas of the different generations of poets since independence who have chosen to express themselves in a language that now seems to be fully integrated with the socio-political and cultural realities of India.
