As he is an Oriya first and foremost <br />Then an Indian <br />So is he an imagist first <br />Then a litterateur, <br />For whom image and imagery <br />The range and purview of taking <br />Without giving in his reactions, <br />Whatever be that, good or bad, <br />A poet of images, <br />Still photos, <br />With the changing scenery. <br /> <br />Sometimes existential, sometimes nihilistic, <br />Sometimes absurd and of in vain waiting, <br />Coming and going, <br />Why is he doing, <br />He cannot, <br />A writer of verses <br />Disturbing and obscure <br />Who writes it not <br />For meaning's sake.<br /><br />Bijay Kant Dubey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jayanta-mahapatra-as-an-imagist/
