A Holi Of Poetry

Holi is the festival of colors for Indians. It is celebrated by smearing or splashing colors on one's dear ones, transforming the everyday world into a brilliantly-hued, vibrant one. Here are seven poets of the Odia literary world, writing and celebrating as if with colors of the Rainbow that the readers would find highly enjoyable and evocable. These poets are of a highly evolved class, having practiced the sacred art form of poetry with admirable and unique styles. Their poems are no doubt a platter spanning, in general, the landscape of Odia poetry, offering its sublime rasas (aesthetics and tastes) and bhavas (expression). Only seven Odia poets were considered for this volume for various limiting factors. The first and foremost reason is the constraint of space that the publishers impose. The second and the most important one is they write very contemporary genres, shifted from the conventional styles, representing an inner world of Odia mind. Poets included are: Arupananda Panigrahi, Bijayketan Patnaik, Haraprasad Das, Hrushikesh Mallick, Kamalakanta Panda (Kalpanta), Prabhanjan K. Mishra, Runu Mohanty.
