"We are children of a century which has seen revolutions, awakenment of large

masses of people over the earth and their emancipation from
slavery and colonialism wresting equality from the hands of brute forces and
forging links of brotherhood across mankind.
This century has seen peaks of human knowledge;
unprecedented intercourse of peoples and
perhaps for the first time saw the world stand
on the brink of the dilemma of one world or destruction.
It is a very inspiring century, its achievements
are unique.
A poet who is not conscious of this context
fails in his existence as poet." 

-Seshendra Sharma  

(From his introduction to his “Poet’s notebook "THE ARC OF
BLOOD" )

Seshendra Sharma is one of the most outstanding minds of modern Asia. He is the foremost
of the Telugu poets today who has turned poetry to the gigantic strides of
human history and embellished literature with the thrills and triumphs of the
20th century. A revolutionary poet who spurned the pedestrian and pedantic
poetry equally, a brilliant critic and a scholar of Sanskrit, this versatile
poet has breathed a new vision of modernity to his vernacular.Such minds place
Telugu on the world map of intellectualism. Readers conversant with names like
Paul Valery, Gauguin, and Dag Hammarskjold will have to add the name of
Seshendra Sharma the writer from India to that dynasty of intellectuals.

Seshendra Sharma better known as Seshendra isa
colossus of Modern Indian poetry.

His literature is a unique blend of the best of poetry and poetics.

Diversity and depth of his literary interests and his works

are perhaps hitherto unknown in Indian literature.

From poetry to poetics, from Mantra Sastra to Marxist Politics his writings bear
an unnerving pprint of his rare genius. 

His scholarship and command over Sanskrit ,
English and Telugu Languages has facilitated his emergence as a towering personality of comparative literature in the 20th century world
literature.

T.S.Eliot ,ArchbaldMacleish and Seshendra Sharma are trinity of
world poetry and Poetics.

His sense of dedication to the genre of art he chooses to express himself
and

the determination to reach the depths of subject he undertakes to explore

place him in the galaxy of world poets / world intellectuals.
