Interviewing Jayanta Found I Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Interviewing Jayanta found I that he did his M.Sc.
From Patna University,
Used to teach physics
At Ravenshaw college, Cuttack,
Was the editor of Chandrabhaga,
Went to Iowa,
Met Allen Ginsberg too,
Had been in friendship
With John Oliver Perry,
Received the Sahitya Akademi Award
For the first time in India
For his book of poems,
Relationship in 1981,
Was interested
In photography and novel
in the initial stage of life,
But later on turned to
English poetry
When on the threshold of fifty,
A late bloomer
Or beginner indeed,
Read it not poetry
In his college classes,
But physics
Which supplied the matter
To his poetry,
First of all, an Oriya
Then an Indian.
