Jayanta Mahapatra And His Relationship Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Jayanta Mahapatra and his relationship
With Orissa,
The Orissan landscapes,
The Orissan society, art, culture and society,
The Orissan language and context,
Myth and mysticism,
The coastal areas,
Rivers, hills, sea beaches, bird sanctuaries,
Tourist spots, lakes and orchards,
Forest reserves and natural habitats,
The rock-built temples and the sun-burnt, mud-housed villages
He has not forgotten them,
Reminisces in.

His relationship with orissa and the Orissan landscapes
Unforgettable, unbreakable,
His mind can go nowhere
Leaving Orissa,
An Oriya
He is of Orissa first
Then an Indian,
An Odia
Of coastal Odisha
Moving around
Cuttack, Bhubaneswar and Puri.
