Khetarpal’s ‘Weird Musings’ — An Analytical Study

Abstract

The paper explores Weird Musings by Dr. Dalip Khetarpal, a work of notable poetry that, with its title, might mislead the readers into thinking he has writings of some bizarre contemplations at hand. Dr. Khetarpal coined the term “psycho-psychic flints” for Fathoming Infinity, his debut poetry compilation, as “they are flints because they emit sparks and hit the readers’ mind as a sharp-edged weapon does –thoughts being such.”

Keywords: Dr. Dalip Khetarpal’s poetic canon, psycho-psychic flints, poetic mysticism, Indian English poetry.
