Poetry has long been a profound expression of human thought and emotion, transcending boundaries of time, culture, and language. The concept of kavi-pratibha, or the innate poetic genius, has captivated thinkers across civilizations. In both Indian and Western traditions, poetry holds a revered place for its power to evoke beauty, reveal truth, and touch the soul. This book, Kavi-pratibha (A Review of Indian and Western Poetic Practices in Context), explores poetic creation through the perspectives of both traditions, offering a comparative look at the nature of poetic genius, inspiration, and the poet's role in society.
