Anya by Rajendra Kishore Panda

Anya ( The Other One ) is a collection of poems by Rajendra Kishore Panda in original Oriya ( a major Indian language ) — It is poetry of love : with all its quest, evocation, ecstasy, anguish, complexity, mystique, myth, surrealism, history, philosophy, metaphysics and fantasy. The 'feminine' force is  manifest here in variegated forms, which is eventually  rendered  to a state of pure 'divine'. Anya is the matrix. Rajendra Kishore, a recipient of  the Sahitya Akademi  (National Academy of Letters, India) award, was honoured by the Bharatiya Bhasha Parishad, Kolkata, India for Anya. Poetry and art  have a creative symbiosis in Anya.

Rajendra Kishore has edited web-anthologies of Indian Poetry (in English translation) and Indian-English Poetry.


Anya has Four Sections — Adima, Madhyama, Antima and Parama, with Fiftysix Poems. Here are the Links to the Poems.
