Wishing your beloved great family CONGRATULATIONS with YOU being chosen as The Poet Of The Day, today Sunday 15 Aug on India's Indpendence Day, R.I.P. for the Great Indian Poet!
Dilip Chitre as a poet is but a multi-faceted genius, not only a poet, but a teacher, a documentary maker, a poetry centre director, a journalist and a globe-trotter too. Not only a Marathi poet, but one of English too. To say the things candidly is the specialty of Chitfre. His translation of Tukaram has added new feathers in his cap. Whatever be his tone, Chitre is of course poignant and devotional.
I just came across this great person. Desires to know more about.
I became acquainted with the work of Dilip Chitre through an issue of Poets&Writers Magazine which featured him a few years before his illness and death. Over the years, even in the Americas, his work can be found. That is proof of his global work with poetry and the high quality and impact of his very personal, real poetic narratives. His curriculae vitae is one of the longest, most impressive accountings of a poet's sojourns on the planet earth one can find. He traveled to many countries and implemented poetry as a diplomatic tool. He won many awards. In short, his (biography) or vitae shows what a powerhouse he was.
