INTRODUCTION
Srirangam Srinivas Rao (Sri Sri) needs no introduction to anyone who reads or writes or does both in Telugu language. Sri Sri was synonymous to the revolution that shook up Telugu poetry in many ways. Most of the latter day poets have come under Sri Sri’s influence at least once and they had to struggle to come out of it. Such is the magnetic power hidden in his poetry.
Sri Sri’s poetic diction was distinctive when compared to his contemporary poets, the tempo set in the poems was electrifying and the themes were somewhat offbeat than the most prevalent ones of that era. With all these divergent factors, Sri Sri stood apart from the others.
Though Sri Sri does not need introduction, his writings still survive as research topics. Several research papers, thesis, criticisms were written and are being written as well. Avakaaya.com is glad to share an insightful series on Sri Sri wherein his poems, film songs have been translated into English and some of the contemporary critics and writers have penned their views/opinions/observations about Sri Sri.
Dr. Kallury Syamala, retired faculty of Humanities Dept. at IIT, Delhi has put in an excellent effort to do the translations and also to compile the essays written on Sri Sri.
We extend our gratitude and sincere thanks to her for choosing Avakaaya.in to publish this literary work. We are sure that our esteemed readers will find this work as enticing and educating.
