Gitanjali Reborn

Radice, himself a recognized English poet and erudite scholar, delved into the deeper meaning of Tagores poems and songs, and discussed his ideas on education and the environment with an insight probably no other Westerner has. He also translated Tagores short stories and short poems, and finally was able to make a complete breakthrough by translating Gitanjali afresh and restoring Tagores original English manuscript. Martin Kmpchen lives in Santiniketan, West Bengal and Germany and is a reputed Tagore scholar and writer.
