Krish Radhakrishna

(Click for Poet Info...)

I am a doctor based in UK and have served the National health service for nearly 30 years. Poetry has been my interest from a very early age and read poetry in Hindi, Tamil and English.
My all time favourite poem is the Elegy in a country churchyard by Thomas Gray, I love Robert Frost, Browning, Wordsworth and Tennyson. I have made a pilgrimage to their birthplace.My favourite writers include Somerset Maugham and Dapne Du Maurier.
I love reading poetry but like great poems that are not lost in extreme verbosity, a tendency for many who employ free verse. Christina Rossetti is a great example of a poet who conveyed beautiful thoughts in simple language.
' Home they brought her Warrior dead' is a good example of a brilliant poem written with the simplest of words.

I look forward to reading the brilliant works of the many poets on Poetry Soup.

Krish Radhakrishna Poems

Poets who are not with us anymore

Blog Posted by Krish Radhakrishna: 10/1/2023 2:36:00 AM

Since the publication of the second volume of poetry anthology, we have lost a few dear Soupers. All very poets who have contributed to these pages over the years. I would suggest that these poets are remembered in an obituary in the new book. A mention of their name and one of their poems.

It would be a good, respectful way to pay homage.

Thanks Edward! This is important and we may be need to nominate someone in our families who can act on our behalf when we are not there. Poetry is in fact intellectual property and should not be allowed to lie dormant on line.

Should we start compiling the names? How shall we go about it?

Great idea Krish, only thing is, I don’t think there’s a system in place to track who has crossed over, other than random information tricking in from here and there.
