	[minstrels] The Patriot -- Nissim Ezekiel
		Nissim Ezekiel, a Jew who lives in Bombay, is possibly India's greatest living poet [1].
		Nissim Ezekiel stands apart from other contemporaries due to his persistent use of irony in all poems.
		Ezekiel's attitude is not that of an anglophile feeling scorn for the seemingly 'inferior' Indians, but the frustration of an Indian wanting to break out of the hypocritical attitudes in society.

	The Hindu : 'A human balance humanly acquired'
		Ezekiel's 20 years as a formal academician were only one phase in an astonishingly varied, even experimental life.
		Ezekiel's ruminative, sometimes almost sententious tenor, his dry wit and self-deflating irony have attracted much notice; few readers counterbalance these with the magnificently lyrical moments when the poet achieves a searing insight into human frailty, when his mastery over formal metre yields before a music of surprise.
		Ezekiel, ever the votary of the golden mean, elected to remain in Bombay, addressing both the cosmopolitan and the local in this volatile crucible.

		To fully appreciate the achievements of Nissim Ezekiel, the Indian poet who died last month aged 80 in Bombay, we should not remember the honours and awards he received in the 1980s, but the lonely environment in which he started writing in the early 1950s.
		Nissim Ezekiel gave English poetry space in the crowded Indian literary landscape.
		Ezekiel was never at home in crowds; he preferred to eat alone in Irani and south Indian restaurants, in a fast-vanishing Bombay that has now even forgotten its name.

		And the poet, Nissim Ezekiel, stands out as the prophet of the city-man. He describes Cain, the first Biblical villain who killed his kid brother and countered God’s accusing query -’’Where is your brother, Abel?” by the more famous “Am I my brother’s keeper?” And God curses him.
		Ezekiel goes deep into the alienated modern human condition, and of course falls back on his own religious and moral moorings in defining his poetry.
		Ezekiel is one of the first proponents of the concept of alienation in Indian English poetry.

		For Nissim Ezekiel, born in Bombay on December 16, 1924, to Bene-Israel Jewish parents, poetry was not just a hobby or pastime.

		The Nissim I knew, when I was 16, and he was 55, was a very different man. He was India's best-known Indian English poet, and the first to try and break the mould.
		I visited Nissim a few days later, and he could still recognize me. Sharing the room with a few other patients, he was sitting up in his bed with nothing more than a tumbler of water by his side and a small plastic bag on the bed.
		Nissim had not been allowed to attend the function, and did not recognize us, but was thrilled to see a cake that we had brought him, refusing to share it with anyone else.

	Nissim Ezekiel -- The Good Native
		The temptation to view Nissim Ezekiel's poetry as some sort of a cross between an unwillingness to let go of the Raj legacy and a quaint exotic supposedly native use of the language is hardly surprising.
		Nissim Ezekiel as a literary presence cannot be denied.
		Interestingly, Ezekiel's views on love, religion and poetry are all connected with his ideas on the state of man, his striving to be a "finished man" ("First Theme and Variations").

		Ezekiel, who was a bornand-bred-in-Bombay Jew, studied at Wilson College and Birbeck College, London.
		His first book of poems, A Time to Change, was published in 1952 and Ezekiel subsequently went on to become an eminence grise on the Mumbai poetry scene and father figure to generations of poets after him.
		Fascinated by the sweep of the city, its blend of cultures and its streetspeak, some of his poems, as he once said,were inspired by phrases picked up in the city's colleges and local trains.

	[minstrels] The Hill -- Nissim Ezekiel
		I hadn't come across the poem before - my knowledge of Ezekiel was, sadly, confined to two of his almost trademark renditions of Indian English, and the ubiquitous "Night of the Scorpion", all from that marvellous anthology "Panorama".
		Today's poem is very different in tone - at once exhortatory and philosophical, so that while it is not the stirring call to action that, say, Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night" [Poem #38], it is nonetheless a thought-provoking poem.

		I first came across the Indian Jewish poet Nissim Ezekiel when I commissioned a book called the Traveller's Literary Companion to the Indian Subcontinent.
		Ezekiel died last week, although as one of his obituarists noted, " The onset of Alzheimer’s meant that we, Mumbai, its poets, his friends and I lost him by degrees." The same obituary included some short poems, including the following:

		Nissim's facial expressions, whenever I went to see him, indicated that he didn't think I was a poet.
		It was a clever ploy, for even though a compere commands a certain prestige, he usually doesn't read his poems.
		No sooner did I write a postcard to him saying I wished to do it, than he was ready, with all the time in the world.

		Thus was our tribute to Nissim Ezekiel--one of the founding fathers, if not the, of modern Indian English poetry--on January 24th, which perforce was published without any of his poems since we ran out of space.
		Ezekiel's poems in Indian English show him venturing successfully into modes no longer preoccupied with the self, in which he can empathise better with the unsympathetic aspects of his linguistic and cultural milieu.
		To have opened this small account with rag-bag syndicate of the ostensibly sub-standard forms of linguistic practice, allowing poetry to explore parts of the human structure it had not earlier known it could accommodate or inhabit, is no small part of Ezekiel's contribution to post-Independence investment in poetry.
