Autorenporträt
An octogenarian author, Satyapal Anand (born in 1931) is a well-known Urdu and English poet. He has published forty books in Urdu and no fewer than a dozen in English. Poetry, prose, literary criticism, history, cultural synthesis of the East and the West, and religion, with particular reference to Buddhism, are his chosen subjects. A retired university professor of English, with a distinctive record in the field of comparative literature, Satyapal Anand is an expert in curriculum planning and course designing in this field. As a poet in Urdu, a language spoken and written by more than a billion people of Indo-Pak subcontinent, he is known to have blazed a trail by introducing a modern (read: European) tinge to it. Born in the prepartition of India (an area now in Pakistan), Satyapal Anand has had half a century of teaching career at the university level in diverse universities of India, Saudi Arabia, England, and North America. Having retired from active classroom teaching, he now teaches a couple of online courses but largely keeps himself busy not only in creative writing but also in making trips to address literary seminars in Europe, India, and Pakistan. After the demise of his wife, Satyapal Anand lives all by himself in a quiet neighborhood in Herndon, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, DC.
