Rama Rao’s Poetry: Reflection of his Kinetic Observations

Abstract

Dr. Rama Rao, a retired educationist, scholar, linguist and writer of fiction and biography, is a poet xenophanic, I maintain as I wrote earlier in a review of his second book of poems.     Looking Within and Beyond is a volume of poems consisting of three Poetry collections: Seeing God and Other Poems, For Our Grandchildren and Looking Within and Beyond.  It contains 102 poems. Besides introduction and acknowledgment there are seven articles and reviews of his books of poems. This seems to be the sum-mum bon-um of his published poetic creation. He is a wandering poet among the winding lanes of human life, creating poetry out of his observations riding on pun, irony, satire and humour.
