Synopsis

The poems of Lingaraj Rath offer an insight into the multidimensional workings of a poet's complex imagination. His poems exhibit a range surprisingly wide as the globe itself. The themes the poet dwells upon are revelations of different facets of a poet's personality. The poet is extremely laconic in his expression, but the terseness encapsulates the vision of the whole world. Most of his poems present the poet as an empathetic and sensitive human being who can feel the pain of a wounded bird, and rejoice in the divine manifestation of eternal joy in the objects of Nature. Deeply emotive with the use of carefully chosen words, Rath's poems flow lucidly and rhythmically. They surprise the readers with the impact they create within their compact design that is almost similar to the Haikus.

"100 Poems On Poets And Poetry" is unique of its kind in so far as it consists of poems devoted entirely to the theme of  "poet and poetry." Poems of Lingaraj Rath in the original Odia language have been extremely popular among readers and critics owing to their lyrical grace, and the vision and philosophical inclination of the poet. The English rendering of the poems will surely be able to fascinate the readers, and fill their hearts with thrill and joy.
