The title
of the poem "The Logopathic Reviewer's Song" is very significant which
he mocks the so called conservative critics who do not appreciate new writers
or thier writing using irony and sarcasm. As a modern writer kaiser Haq write
poetry in a new manner. He thinks that critics should appreciate the new
kinds of writing. But in the world of poetry there are some vindictive
reviewer who shows theirs hatred to the new poet, who writes poetry without
following the classical poetic style.
In this poem, logopathic reviewer is the
speaker who consider himself as a superior in poetic world. He act here like he
is only the critic who knows everything under the sun. He proudly compares
himself with a sun an says that likewise sun his duty is to cherished the
lonely poet like a Demolition Derby. According to Kaiser Haq , critics should
not be vindictive while giving criticism to others' writing. They should
not be destructive rather they should be constructive while judging new
poets' writing. But in this poem kaiser Haq portrays a logopathic reviewer who
only appreciate his writing he does not show any kinds of respect or
appreciation to new poet. Haq ridicules on this kinds of critic Who does
not wants to see change or new kinds of writing in poetic world, and Who
only show cruelty toward new writers because they don't allow them to make a
room in the field of poetry.
As the reviewer proudly mention it,
" I am the
greatest, the one and only logopathic hit and runs critics".
In this line which is used to mock through the logo logopathic reviewer so
called poet who only values the writing which are written by following the
traditional style of poetry.
The
Logopathic Reviewer's Song, Kaiser Haq demonstrates his ability to mould the English language
into strange and beautiful forms that reflect his - distinctive vision of life
—at once ironic, quirky, zany, and rich in emotional undertones and
intellectual implications. With increasing exuberance, he explores varieties of
free verse, experiments with prose poetry and aphorisms, and for good measure
dips into the Rich Fund folk tales. Varied spanning three continents are distilled
with innovative verve into this memorable volume.
So
the title of the poem "The
Logopathic Reviewer's Song is justifiable.
