Aprašymas

"My Love, My Seasons" is a collection of fifty poems of the Odia poet Shri Tapan Pattanaik, translated into English by Dr. Namita Laxmi Jagaddeb. The poems carry the poet's leitmotif of love, loss and longing. They invariably exhibit his acute perception of a relentless Time that impedes the flow of life, love and relationship along the rotations of seasons. The poems abound with sparkling metaphors drawn from the countryside Odisha on which the poet has dispersed his agonies seeking comfort, away from the crushing force of Time. Thus, sun, moon, stars, hills, forests, lake, rivers, rains, light, shade, and many more have come alive in the poems as natural companions of the poet engaging him in intimate dialogues on love, life and the beyond. Thanks to the superb craftsmanship of the translator; she has efficiently captured the poet's unique thoughts and feelings in an exquisitely matching diction that recreates the lyrical intensity and free flowing rhythm of the original poems.
