10 POETRY HOMELESS BIRD by Tagore WHO IS TAGORE? - RABINDRANATH TAGORE - Date Born May 7, 1861 in Calcutta, Rabindranath Tagore is one of the great writers of India, with a writing career in nearly all genres that extends over more than sixty years. Tagore is one of the most influential artists, thinkers, and social reformists in Indian history. Tagore was a gifted poet, playwright and short story writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in Tagore's father, the writer, scholar, and mystic, Debendranath, popularly called Maharshi (Great Sage), was a member of the Brahmo Samaj movement founded by Raja Rammohan Roy. Although he seldom saw his father, his influence was strongly felt, and at the age of twelve the young boy was taken by his father on a four-month long journey to the Punjab and Himalayas. During this trip, the father took over the education of his son, teaching him Sanskrit, Bengali and English literatures. Other major influences of his early years were the Vaishnava poets of medieval Bengal, the classical Indian aesthetic and philosophical heritage passed on to him by his family, and modern European writing, particularly English romantic poets. Tagore began writing at an early age, and continued throughout his life. A great many of his poetic works were also songs, 2,265 in all, with musical and verbal rhythms. In the late 1890s he underwent a spiritual reawakening, which was reflected in his works of this period, Manasi, Sonar Tar, Chitra, Naivedya, Kheya, and the work that helped him gain recognition in the West, Gitanjali (Song Offerings). It was the publication of the last book in English in 1910 that helped him win the Nobel Prize three years later. Other major works in English followed, including The Gardener (1913), The Cresent Moon (1913), Fruit-Gathering (1916), Lover's Gift and Crossing (1918), and The Fugitive and Other Poems (1919).
