Raatrulu modalyyE vELa (The hour at which the nights begin…) :
An evening with the celebrated post-modernist Telugu poet SIDDHARTHA.
Siddhartha is known for his highly complex and symbolic poetry rooted in the rural and folk culture of Telangana, as well as the glory and muck of living in the metropolitan urban reality of Hyderabad, while also charged with a unique modernist and post-modernist awareness of the great traditions of music, art, cinema and so on of the east and the west. His poems generally run in the form of monologues dealing with the existential questions of birth, death, love, time, deception and the conflicts of heart and soul. The complex imagery and original phraselogy of his poems springs from the need to encapsulate his extraordinary sharp engagement with the exasperatingly fleeting nature of lived reality and the inevitable burden of eternal philosophic questions of life and existence. His poetry often begs the question of the limits of language in expressing what the poet ambitiously attempts to burden it with.
