The present research article Resilience the Ingrained Inevitable Perspective in the Poetry of Alice Virginia Orndorff (Lila Ray) is an outstanding and original attempt to portray the spiritual journey of enlightenment of the poet, who has not only exhibited the portraits of well-established authors of world acclaimed stature, Orndorff (Lila Ray), signifying her adaptability in the multiculturalism of the Indian society by marrying Ananda Sanker and accepting the pious call of Rabindranath Tagore to live in Santiniketan. The transcendentalism, the relocation of American poet in India, the acknowledgement of the inevitability of the life and death circle, cycle of birth and death, and renewal with rejuvenation, changes of dynamical growth’s richest and vital transformation; pantheistic worldwide view of Nature, acknowledging resilience as the treasure of other virtues, self-annihilation, philosophy to experience the prominent stances of life, seeking cathartic release through passing from the journey of experience, are the basic intellectual and wisdom practices inculcated in her poetry. The present research article is thematically analysing the anthology ALIVE AND DYING (1976) of Lila Ray, which is paradoxically and evolutionary way of attaining the equanimity in the opposites of life like joy and sorrows, life and death, sentimental and philosophical etc. All the prominent literary figures like Rabindranath Tagore, Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, T. S. Eliot, and Robert Frost, John Keats P.B. Shelley, Emily Dickinson, are pragmatically, practically and contextually interpreted through close assessment of her poetry. The perennial and confessional mode of her poetry admits, accepts, and resiliently transcends herself to perpetual and spontaneous pondering upon from existentialism of the materialistic life. The research article has authentically established the harmonious relationship between the simultaneous contradictory aspects of life. The poet acknowledges herself with the existing quintessential hard facts of life and her oeuvre successfully obtains the transformation through resilience which she feels as ingrained perspective in her creativity.
