Abhay K, Fady Joudah, Lionel Fogarty, Sadaf Saz, Arjun Deo Charan, Ashok Bajpai at JLF 2015

Abhay K is one of the literary flag-bearers of contemporary Indian poetry.[29][30] He features among five Indian poets everyone should know about.[31] Major Indian poet Jayanta Mahapatra thinks "qualities of love, tenderness and compassion set Abhay K's work apart from much of the general run of current poetics." [32] As per the Hindu Book Review- "Abhay K.'s words don’t sit outside and observe. They dig in, making their subject their home, and then they turn outwards, watching the landscape, the people, the city, change." [33] His poetic works startle and heal [34] and give humanistic outlook to Indian English Poetry[35][36][37] making subtle use of metaphor and imagery.[38] His first book was River Valley to Silicon Valley(2007).[5] As an editor, he has edited a special edition of The Enchanting Verses Literary Review on Contemporary Indian Poetry in English[39] and an anthology of poems on capital cities of the world. He also co-founded the Poetry at the Monument poetry movement.[40]

His poems have appeared in several magazines and literary journals including Poetry Salzburg Review,[41] The Asia Literary Review,[42] The Caravan,[43] The Missing Slate,[44] The Stony Thursday(Ireland), Mud Season Review (USA),[45] The Galway Review,[46] Eastlit[47] Kavya Bharati, Sarasvati Quarterly (UK),Big Bridge Anthology of Indian Poetry,[48] Şiirden (Turkey), The Byword, The Long Exposure Magazine(UK),[49] The Seventh Quarry (UK), Drunk Monkeys (USA)[50] Chiaroscuro London[51] An Gael, New York,[52] Indian Literature,[53] Pratilipi[54] Muse India, The Enchanting Verses Literary Review and Kritya[55] among others.[56][57] Wasafiri quarterly notes Kumar's absence from the HareperCollins anthology of English poetry stating "The HarperCollins Book of English Poetry does miss out on Agha Shahid Ali, the poet-diplomat Abhay K and Nabina Das."[43][58]

His Nalanda poems evocatively recount fall and rise of Nalanda .[59] His poem "Foreign Service" is a take-off on Shakespeare's "All the world's a stage" summarizing diplomatic careers.[60] while the poem "Gogol" alludes to the works of the writer Gogol such as "The Nose", "The Overcoat", "Nevsky Prospect", Dead Souls and The Government Inspector.[61] His poem "Ghalib" is a glimpse of tragic life of poet Ghalib.[62] Kumar's poems have been translated into Irish by Irish poet Gabriel Rosenstock[63] and in Russian by noted Russian poet Andrei Rodossky,[57] in Turkish by noted Turkish poet Müesser Yeniay, in Slovenian by Slovenian poet Katja Gorečan, in Italian by Italian poet Franz Laszlo Melas,[64] in Chinese by Chinese poet Arthur Zhang,[65] in Nepali by Nepalese poet Kishore Nepal, in Portuguese by Brazilian poets Antonio Miranda and Marcos Freitas[66] and in Spanish by Spanish poet Alicia Silvestre Miralles.[67] He said in an interview to Alok Mishra, "Poetry for me is what the soul is for the body. I read and write poetry to satisfy my spiritual hunger."[68] His poems have been read aloud by actresses Hazel Keech, Reecha Sharma, Priyanka Karki, models Sahana Bajracharya, Talia Bentson, Nagma Shrestha, actor Rajesh Hamal,[69] poets K.Satchidanandan [70] A.

He was nominated for the Pushcart Prize for his three poems ‘What's a Beach’, ‘Masseur’ and ‘Everything has Secrets’.[89] He was also awarded SAARC Literary Award for his contribution to South Asian poetry.[19][20]

The Seduction Of Delhi

Kumar's collection of poems The Seduction of Delhi became a bestselling poetry book after its launch in January 2015.[90] It was released by Arvind Krishna Mehrotra at the Jaipur Literature Festival.[91] T.S. Eliot Prize winning poet George Szirtes writes about The Seduction of Delhi- "One may visit a city and one may live in it. To experience it as a presence and as a history is more than either and to experience it as poetry is sublime. This is a beautiful way to be introduced to a great city as both specific and essence." [92]

"The Seduction of Delhi" is both inspired poetry and visual illustration (by Italian artist Tarshito) in motion, covering and recalling nearly a thousand years of memory, achievement, success and loss, daily grind and drudgery, a contradictory city of ruins and sprawling high rises.

Abhay K's poems serve up a Delhi, resplendent with character, torn asunder by marauders, patch-worked back several times with belief and faith - and above all saturated through with the touch of time and history.

In 2014, Kumar suggested that UNESCO stage a global online competition to establish an official anthem for the planet, but the organization felt unable to conduct a global competition due to its "limited financial and human resources".[103][104] The Permanent Delegation of India, Paris had recommended Kumar's proposal of an official anthem for UNESCO's consideration.[105]

SAARC Anthem

Abhay wrote the SAARC Anthem in Bengali, Dzongkha, Maldivian, English, Hindi, Nepali, Pashto, Sinhalese, and Urdu, in an attempt to attempts to foster South Asian consciousness and bring the member states of SAARC together.[106][107] It has spurred discussions on the need for an official SAARC Anthem.[108] Columnist Stanley Weiss hopes that the South Asian leaders will choose to move forward in the words of the SAARC Anthem.[109] Nepal's foreign minister has expressed the need for a SAARC anthem to connect SAARC nations.[110] SAARC Anthem was to be played at the swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi in presence of the SAARC leaders.[111] Nepal at the 18th summit in Kathmandu in November 2014 is planning to introduce proposal for a SAARC Anthem in the agenda of summit when heads of all member states meet here.[112] The song penned by Abhay K may become SAARC Anthem.[113] Pooja Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt have praised SAARC anthem.[114]
