Dissent
from Freedom to Closure :
A Comparative Study of the Select Poems of Jayanta Mahapatra and Nilmani Phookan
A Comparative Study of the Select Poems of Jayanta Mahapatra and Nilmani Phookan
Jayanta
Mahapatra, one of the prominent Indian poet writing in English, internationally
acclaimed for his evocation of the ‘still sad music of humanity’ and Nilmani
Phookan , one of the renowned poet writing in Assamese, well-known for his freshness of imagery, simplicity and
restraint of diction, compactness of structures and design ,show dissent in a
covert way through various images drawn from their own cultural and natural
landscape. Their understanding of the world they inhabit is matured and they
note the transition of their region in poetry with precision, clarity and
accuracy. What is significant is their objectivity and detachment with which
they portray people, place and day to day affairs. They make visible the things
what is normally invisible on surface. The paper will show the ways the images
are deployed by the poets to show the dissent of the people of their regions
from freedom to closure.
