Syavamvara And Other Poems By Jayanta Mahapatra



‘Svayamvara and other poems’ as a collection of poems
Which appeared after Close the Sky, Ten by Ten
From Writers Workshop, Calcutta
In 1971
When Jayanta Mahapatra had been a teacher
Of physics
At Ravenshaw College, Cuttack.

Though the book is no variation from his as usual style,
But at that time,
He had been in his initial stage,
Into a firm footing
Or a foothold of his,
But instead of, the things can be read
For his growth and development as a poet.

Peace, For a Displaced Season, Blind This World,
A Kind of Love, Sonnet, Sometimes,
Morning, Awareness, A Point of View,
Betrayal, The Marriage Portrait, Apartment,
At the Zoo, Love’s Caress, Where Does Night Begin? ,
The poems one after another.

Bells, The Bride, Traditions, Svayamvara,
Between, Bones, Sun Worshipper, Child and Teacher,
Traffic Constable, Intimacy, Faith, Poem,
The Poster, My Boy, Blind Singer in a Train,
Henry the Robot/ A Theme of Love, A Name,
Poem (For R.M.) ,
The rest following.

Whatever be the theme of the poem, but he
Has not left his love of imagery and imagism,
Lyric and lyricism,
So private and personal,
So delving into the realms of nothingness,
The space and the vacuum,
The things of his perusal.

The owl of the night with one eye shut in the zoo,
Waiting for the night to come,
The lotus of the morning breaking into smiles
And a calm serenade,
The poetic space of his,
Frail faith depicted in a poor light,
Shaky presence of man silhouetted feebly.
