Syam Sudhakar

[8] He is also one of the founder members of Centre for Performance Research and Cultural Studies in South Asia and the Poetry Advisor of Sydney School of Arts and Humanities.

[12] Other than the presence of rich visual imagery, Sudhakar's primary forte is his use of the technique of magic realism which till date has been hardly used by Indian poets so extensively.

So the reader is convinced that ‘stepping stones’ can be made of ‘cheese-cakes’ and the ‘sinking boatman plucks a rainbow and it turns into a boat’".

[17] Sudhakar finds inspiration in the natural landscape which he celebrates in his one-of-a-kind imagery which can be seen as a hall mark of his poetry.

[19] One can comfortably and consciously claim that along with his use of myth and legend, Sudhakar’s verses are technically sound and resonate with a wide range of themes.

[21] One can see that Sudhakar is quite meticulous in portraying death; with a nonchalance that can only be attributed to the ever-prevalent sense of disillusionment infused in the postmodern mind.

[28] According to Mandika Sinha, "in his poems, sometimes he is a silent observer, sometimes he is a subjective narrator and together he recreates a world with sensitivity and subtle humour where death is an everyday reality".

[30] Sudhakar’s poems employ deliberate indifference to deflate a highly emotional situation, especially by transferring a human tragedy to the animal world in the form of postmodern parody.
