In an ocean where myriads of rivers converge, can one sole river lend the ocean its distinct flavor? For someone who is at home with several languages, literary traditions, and disciplines, is it possible for one form to crisscross the landscape of another? In a poet's world of mirrors, where stream and earth are sky, one may "sometimes count every orange on a tree," but can one count "all the trees in a single orange?"In this volume, Guillermo Rodrguez explores these possibilities by analyzing the works of one of India's finest poets, translators, essayists, and scholars of the twentieth century, A.K. Ramanujan (19291993).A spectrum of published and unpublished sourcesincluding some of Ramanujan's hitherto unknown private diaries, notes, poetry drafts, and scholarly writings sourced from the A.K. Ramanujan Papers archived at the University of Chicagoare studied to illuminate the influence of classical Tamil, medieval bhakti, and oral folk aesthetics and literature on his work. This vastly informative and critical work makes us aware of his attention to the various aesthetic and poetic contexts in his life and work, and shows how these are reflected in his writings as a way of thinking and nurturing force behind his creative self.
