Nijapain Nanabaya by Rajendra Kishore Panda |
| "Tender is the rebellion", says Rajendra Kishore Panda. Nijapain Nanabaya contains twentyseven poems by Rajendra Kishore, written during the period from August 1975 to February 1980, a period of turbulence in India. These poems ( except four ) were published in literary periodicals during the said period. The remaining four poems were published in 1980 (after February 1980). The print-medium collection was published in 1980 by Samabesha Prakashani, Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India. These are the poems of dissent and tender subversion. Rajendra Kishore has authored several books. He has also edited web-anthologies of Indian Poetry (in English translation) and Indian-English Poetry. |
