Bøker av Arun Chandra Sahu

This collection of English poems, 'The Butterfly of the Cage', the second transcreation by the author himself from his original Odia poetry collection 'Panjurira Prajapati' is based on varied themes and thoughts like human desire and despair, agony and aspiration, emotion and passion, rejoice and sorrow, love and hatred, belief and betrayal, sweet and sour memories, satire and irony, delusion and illusion, splendour of the nature, the philosophy of life, death and time, the untouched layers of human behaviour and instinct, apprehension for the uncertain future of man and environment due to anthropogenic activities, and even poetic representation of some scientific phenomena which rarely finds its place in poetry. Its 'Prologue' depicts an introduction to Poetry, English Poetry and Indian English Poetry which is no less than a research paper and a must read. The book is dedicated to eminent Indian poet Padma Shri Dr. Jayanta Mahapatra who passed away on August 27th, 2023.
