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? Shame to us! Birbal Kumawat (talk) 06:28, 23 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
