'Search for a lane where
the air is rusty and bleeding
by the long absence of a beloved son'
Aditya Sankar's poems are journeys to subjects in varied moods, in different vehicles or at times in gentle walk.Most often these haphazard jaunts, trip here and there,never reaches its destinations. A word picture without a beginning ,middle and an end. The space of these poems are far away from other poems with possessive approaches to subjects.
In malayalam poetry, Satchidanandan is one who has a possessive approach to subjects. To a certain extent the same is applicable to K.G. Sankara Pillai too.(though their poems help us to know the market standard of subjects! ) In Balachandran Chullikkadu,this crosses the limit hence,had to say they are of the stale variety. What's wrong with possessiveness is,though it catches attention suddenly,loses the same in like manner. Contemporary literary critic Mark Doren says" A poet who detached with the subject enables him to see what is beneath him and about him as well as what is above him". How fast we accepted P.Kunjhiraman Nair's possessiveness as' keraliyatha'(everything pertaining to kerala)? In fact,the advancement,evolution and tautness of keralite society seen in Edassei and Attoor is not much evident in 'P' .
If Aditya's poem is devoid of possessive approach ,it doesn't mean,it is not intense. It do have intensity to the core.,but it lies in the manner in which it is written and in the selection of its diction. This remain active enough to explain the subject in the poem. Like Cavafy,Akmatova,Camus,Amoz Oz,Dali who lived vehement lives,becomes words,interpretations within the poem.
'Standing by the midnight window,
relive Albert Camus-
the meaningless monologue of solitude
when cold wind blows into an old- age home'
Aditya's is a designer poem.He uses films,painting,music , photography etc. as part of this design.
Renowned fashion designer Marlene Cooper opines designs are born out of eccentricities.Just as in a craze,the dreams one saw ,the films ,photography,painting- all merges and designs are created. Such a craze is also seen Aditya's poem but that craziness grows in poetry as a release of minute awareness. Most promising factor of his poems is ,it grow off the existing theories of new malayalam poetry.
He writes,
'To be heard only the lonely
the lords of time'
the air is rusty and bleeding
by the long absence of a beloved son'
