Book: Thai poet uses Buddhist principles to re-enchant the modern world

February 5, 2021 Thailand was swept into tides of regional and global change during the second half of the 20th century, according to Arnika Fuhrmann, associate professor of Asian Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences. Thai poet Angkarn Kallayanapong (1926-2012) responded to this dramatic economic and cultural change in his 1969 poem “Time is Life.” “Greedy, infatuated, insatiable, crazy for wealth/The spirit, sorrowful, disintegrates/The glow of life adverse diminishes/Lacking dignity, the glow of the heart is lost,” the poet wrote, admonishing the reader to “Awake, arise and seek value.” Book cover: Teardrops of Time In “Teardrops of Time: Buddhist Aesthetics in the Poetry of Angkarn Kallayanapong,” Fuhrmann places this Thai poet among the most significant of the 20th century, arguing that his poetry adapts Buddhist principles to “re-enchant,” through art, a Thailand and Southeast Asia depleted by modernization during his lifetime.
