Jerry Pinto s Search for Truth

Jerry Pinto s Search for Truth The poet and author s new book locates itself in India’s post-colonial modernity and the crosscurrents of polarising narratives. Jerry Pinto. Photo: Sreejithkoiloth/CC BY-SA 4.0 Jerry Pinto’s new collection of poetry,  I Want a Poem, is dedicated to “Nissim, Adil, Arun and Eunice”, with a parenthesis: “Hang in there, Adil!” To the uninitiated: these are the poets of the Bombay school — Nissim Ezekiel, Adil Jussawalla, Arun Kolatkar and Eunice de Souza. The Bombay poets of the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s have been identified by literary scholars such as Anjali Nerlekar and Laetitia Zecchini as representatives of a sort of post-colonial modernism in India, similar to the Bombay Progressive Artists’ Group, the Baroda group of artists, or the Indian People’s Theatre Association.

The writer is an author. AFTER spotting a reference to the poet Dom Moraes in my article on Ved Mehta, a thoughtful reader wrote to tell me that he owned a copy of Dom’s first book The Grass is Greener (1951). It was published when he was only 13 years old. Its subject was not poetry, for which he later became world famous, but cricket. Its frayed dust jacket describes him as possessing “an amazing precocity”. Curiously, Dom never mentions it in any of his autobiographies, except in a casual aside in Never At Home (1996). At the age of 12, Dom received his first prize as the best commentator in a cricket match between the Commonwealth XI and India XI in 1950-51. At the age of 18, while still at Oxford, he won the more coveted Hawthornden Prize for his slim anthology of poems A Beginning (1961).
