Abstract:
G. B. Senanayake could be identified as a poet
who was stingy critiqued within the Sinhalese
poetic field. He succeeded in signifying his own
identity, approaching a different turn than the
independent device which prevailed in the
second poetic generation of the Colombo era.
He introduced free verse to Sinhalese
Literature. His short stories and poetic
composition titled ‘paligenema’ is considered
a landmark in the Sinhalese poetic field.
Therefore, it could be concluded that there
lies a possibility of paying special attention to
words that identity the poetic dictum of
G. B. Senanayake.
