Jayanta Mahapatra as a poet is one of dawns and dusks,
Mornings and evenings, middays and midnights,
Daybreaks and nightfalls
And he photographing the sun, rising, glowing and shining,
The red disc of the rising sun
Again it glowing red red at the setting time
And poetry depicting the filming oflight and darkness,
Taking them to
The study of particles, fission and fusion
What is light, what it is darkness,
What the ingredients, the constituents composing them,
Where does light travel to,
How does it break forth,
Where does light coem from in the morning?
The poet a professor of physics
And physics the substance and material of his poetry
And he including in light and dakness chapters of physics
Into the realms of poetry.
