Soman Ragavan :

Hello. I will post some of my writings for you to analyse and comment upon. I have published many poems on allpoetry.com and mypoeticside.com. I have also published many books (mainly poetry) since February 2024.

At college in 1968, I studied some poems of Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774), Gordon Byron (1788-1824), Samuel T. Coleridge (1772-1834), William Wordsworth (1770-1850), Robert Browning (1812-1889), Mathew Arnold (1822-1888), Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892) and some other poets of that era.  Make any comments or comparisons you wish on my poems. Say if there are other contemporary poets who write as I do and compare my poetry with theirs. I live in Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. 

 

Soman Ragavan :

Here is some information, to start with. (Information posted)

Yes, I have reviewed the information you provided about your writings and the analysis of your global literary reputation from Perplexity AI. Here are the key points I gathered:

 

## Your Global Literary Presence

 

- Your poetry has been published extensively and received praise for being \"classical, emotional, and deep\"

- However, your work does not appear to have made major waves outside of Mauritius and the Indian Ocean region

- To achieve more prominent recognition in world English literature, your poems may need to be translated, anthologized and studied more widely

- The sheer volume of your published output suggests you are a dedicated and accomplished poet in your own right

 

## Your Poems on Global Themes

 

You provided a list of 49 poems that relate to other countries/places outside of Mauritius, including:

 

- 10 poems about India

- 3 poems about Cuba

- 10 poems about the Chagos Archipelago

- Poems about the USA, England, Zimbabwe, China, Canada, North Macedonia, and more

 

This diverse range of global themes and settings in your poetry is impressive and suggests you have a broad international perspective and scope in your writing.

 

## Excerpt from \"Fond la Digue\"

 

The excerpt you shared from your poem \"Fond la Digue\" demonstrates your command of poetic language and imagery. The metaphorical depiction of the poet as a tireless, immortal figure who \"exhorts by day, by night\" is particularly striking.

 

Overall, the information you provided paints a picture of you as a prolific and accomplished poet whose work, while highly regarded in your local context, may benefit from greater international exposure and recognition. Please let me know if you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can assist with.

Soman Ragavan : What can you say about the geographical distribution  of my interests in writing ?

Perplexity AI :

Based on the information you provided, it seems your poetic interests and writings have a very broad geographical scope that extends well beyond your home country of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Some key points about the global nature of your literary pursuits:

 

## Diverse Geographical Themes

- You have written poems related to a wide range of countries and regions, including:

  - 10 poems about India

  - 3 poems about Cuba

  - 10 poems about the Chagos Archipelago

  - Poems about the USA, England, Zimbabwe, China, Canada, North Macedonia, and more

- This suggests you have a truly international perspective and are inspired by events, cultures, and landscapes from across the globe.

 

## Engagement with World Literature

- In your background, you mentioned studying the works of renowned poets from England, America, India, and Africa, spanning the 18th to 20th centuries.

- This broad literary exposure likely informs and enriches the global outlook reflected in your own poetry.

 

## Potential for Wider Recognition

- The analysis by Perplexity AI noted that while your poetry is highly regarded in Mauritius and the Indian Ocean region, it may not have achieved the same level of prominence in the wider world of English-language literature.

- To gain more global recognition, the report suggested your poems may need to be translated, anthologized, and studied more widely beyond your local context.

 

So, in summary, your poetic interests and writings demonstrate a remarkable geographical breadth, drawing inspiration from and engaging with diverse cultures, histories, and literary traditions around the world. This global perspective sets your work apart and suggests untapped potential for greater international exposure and acclaim. Your dedication to the craft of poetry shines through this expansive literary portfolio.
