Nature and passions in K. N. Daruwalla's poetry

Keki Nasserwanji Daruwalla is certainly one of the major voices in Indo-Anglian poetry. He won the Sahitya Akademi award and he writes with obvious Indian elements in his verses, especially in his use of the landscapes, nature and human passions. His realistic vision of human life and his personal observation are his subjects. His personal observations are not fully facts; they are amalgam of myth and reality.

Nature and landscapes occupy a vital place among the themes of Daruwalla's poetry. He has written many poems on places with most powerful and vivid imagery. Through his poems, he brings out the present reality of nature, and states how the modern man has manipulated it. In his poetry, he interknits both the nature and human passions. The images he uses are very common but the ideas, which the images contain, are very intellectual with a broad sense.
