The ‘Roadmap’ of Nature in the Poetry of Manindra Gupta Prithwish Majumdar, Research Scholar, Department of Bengali, Bhasha Bhavana, Visva-Bharati, West Bengal, India | ||
ABSTRACT | ||
Manindra
Gupta was a distinguished poet of the 1960s. The elements of nature remained
deeply intertwined with the lifelong oeuvre of this inherently autobiographical
poet. The most profound aspect of his engagement with nature was his ability to
evoke and construct poetry directly from the reservoirs of his memory. Beneath
the surface-level natural motifs, it was Gupta’s personal, introspective
nature-consciousness that drove his creativity. His vision captured not only
the pristine beauty of the natural world but also the poignant, existential
angst of modern humans drifting away from it.
Occasionally,
he sought unique, personal pathways to commune with nature. This distinct
approach lends a rare uniqueness to his poetry. While he consciously avoided
aligning his work with any overt political or social ideology, he drew rich
insights from the biographies of various nature-lovers. Furthermore,
Rabindranath Tagore served as his guiding light in many of these pursuits.
Ultimately, he discovered a way to closely commune with nature through a
detached, ascetic lifestyle. His verses passionately resonate with this
alternative way of living, standing in stark, defiant contrast to the
consumerist habits of twentieth-century society.
