==Poetic style==

Kedar Nath Singh's poetry is characterized by simple, everyday language and images that string together to convey complex themes. One of his major poems is ''Bagh'', a long poem with the tiger as its central character. Published in the mid 1980s, the poem remains one of the most widely read long poems in Hindi literature and is included in many university curricula. At some level, ''Bagh'' bears a striking resemblance to [[Ted Hughes]]' [[Crow (poetry)|Crow]], but the two remain independent in their treatment and scope. “He was a poet of both presence and absence, of love and loss, of anxieties and questions...," said culture critic and poet Ashok Vajpayee.(5)<ref>. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/jnanpith-recipient-poet-kedarnath-singh-no-more/articleshow/63386249.cms {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181009160520/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/jnanpith-recipient-poet-kedarnath-singh-no-more/articleshow/63386249.cms |date=9 October 2018 }}</ref>
