"Father, Wake Us In Passing", is an internationally acclaimed poem by the Indian English poet Gopi Kottoor.
The tumultuous emotional experience associated with watching the slow but inevitable death of one's own father has been poignantly channeled by the poet into this acclaimed masterpiece.
[3] The poem has been widely acclaimed for its bold approach in depicting an unusual and almost taboo topic, that of dispassionately analyzing one's own father's death.
The poem in German appeared as a Laufschrift Book edition (Vater, Wecke' uns im Vorübergehen) in 2004 at Fürth, Germany.
This work is peerless in its genre[4] in Indian English writing and has received critical acclaim in India and abroad ever since it was first published.
