P K Balakrishnan explores the fundamentals and basic expressions of poetry as an art in 'Kaavyakala Kumaranasaniloode'. The intention of the author is not to write a comprehensive work on the life and works of the great Malayalam poet Kumaranasan. The works of Kumaranasan are studied here as a medium for the discourse on the art of poetry.

Those studying about the art of poetry in general and the works of Kumaranasan in particular will find a lot of unexplored areas through this book. Kaavyakala Kumaranasaniloode is not just a collection of articles but a book with an integrated design. Balakrishnan not only studies the general nature of a genius in the realm of poetic art through the life of the poet, he also sheds light into the beautiful world of Asan's poetry.

By re-evaluating some of the poetic works with this rare insight, this book elevates itself to the realm of original literature. Foreword by M Gangadharan.
