Sri Aurobindo - The Poet

Publisher's Note

We are very happy to publish this research work of Mr. K. D. Sethna,

As explained in the author's Introductory Note, it is a companion volume to his earlier study, The Poetic Genius of Sri Aurobindo. Himself a poet as well as a disciple of Sri Aurobindo, Mr. Sethna may be said to bring an inside knowledge of the art with which the present book is concerned. The papers collected here are the result of a penetrating search for the soul of poetry and the possibilities of its highest expression. We are sure the readers will find in this volume critical perceptions which will enable them to come into an intimate contact with Sri Aurobindo's poetry in all its varied range.

We have pleasure in stating that the Government of India have given a grant to our Centre of Education to meet the cost of publishing Sri Aurobindo—the Poet.
