Bhagwant Singh (1926 - ) an eminent punjabi poet, was born in 1926. His poetry stems from the inhibited experiences of a frustrated middle class, and the axis which makes him conscious of the hollowness and hypocrisy revolving round it. He does not use the traditional regular metres but his lines consist of ironical phrases and figures which have their own poetic rhythms. His irony and satire have, however, no fixed focus. His view of society is negative lacking any specific direction.
