Visadayoga

Author: Phani Mohanty

200.00

This is the first full-fledged English translation of Odia poet Dr. Phani Mohanty’s Visadayoga incorporating 38 poems published in 1992.His poems would be better if they reach prospective international readers through translations and help shaping a concrete idea on Asian writing focusing India, which naturally rolls down to Odisha. Of late many places in the world have truly become multilingual and multicultural espousing a purpose of this kind. This collection is a tenor to hold on Bhagavad Gita, the philosophy contained therein ascribing melancholy which is till now inaccessible to many. Here, many of the poems are in tune with the same having distinctive originality of their own. The poet is absorbed into the cultural milieu of the Odia race perceptively examining his creativity through it. In his poems the culture specific terms and symbols are close-packed and therefore it became strenuous for me to carry them exactly into an alien language like English. The rhythmical structure vis a vis music of the poems are no less.
