A Sinhala-language title from Godage of Colombo, carrying the name of the poet H. M. Kudaligama and catalogued under Sinhalese poetry. The author is P. M. Senarathna.
Kudaligama — Hewawasam Mudiyanselage Munidasa Kudaligama — was a Sri Lankan poet, journalist and writer. He was born in Kalutara and educated at Dharma Vijaya Pirivena, and he worked as a proofreader at Lake House. His writing belongs to the Colombo era of Sinhala poetry. Among his published works are Geheniya, Ae and Kunatuwa, and he was a co-founder of the poetry magazine Suwanda.
The text is in Sinhala throughout. There is no English translation or parallel text, so a reader will need Sinhala to use the book. Buyers outside Sri Lanka ordering on the strength of the poet's name should know this before they order.
Godage International Publishers is an established Colombo house with a long list in Sinhala and in English, covering literature, history, religion and school and university reading. Much of what it issues in Sinhala circulates mainly within Sri Lanka, which is the practical reason titles of this kind are hard to find on general international bookshop listings.
This one will suit readers already at home in twentieth-century Sinhala verse — those who read the Colombo-era poets, students and teachers working on that period, and Sinhala-reading households abroad who want the poets of that generation on the shelf rather than only in memory.
If you know Kudaligama's name from Geheniya or Kunatuwa, or from the circles around Suwanda, this is a Sinhala book on his name by P. M. Senarathna, published in Colombo by Godage.
