“DARLING” is the English translation of eminent Odia poet Phani Mohanty’s much acclaimed long poem “Priyatama”. It’s translator K.K. Mohanty says, “While translating Priyatama I fell in love with an imaginary woman. It is a strange experience. Love has been defined by many romantic souls but the one definition I rejoice is from Shakespeare. ”Love is merely a madness and…deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do.” I am sure the poet has been inflicted by liberal doses of madness and his mention of dark house may suggest that he did suffer for his poetic pursuit. I did plunge in a splendid isolation even while enjoying every word he wrote about his Priyatama.”

Description

About the Author

A poet with natural flair for romanticism Dr Phani Mohanty (born January 25, 1944) appears delightfully different for his unpretentious portrayal of passion that forms the base of romanticism. If he continues to retain his popularity among poetry lovers even after half a century of ecstatic literary run it’s because of the subtlety in the mainstream of his poetry where the reader sees a soft appeal packaged differently in every new poem he writes. This poetic freshness as reflected in his twenty published volumes (poem and short story collections) has won him many laurels from leading institutions including Central and State Sahitya Academies and several other literary units. In `Darling’, the reader may encounter the languid flow of love and longing from a weary heart that pines and pours out despondency that is normal in state of poetic hopelessness. But a reader will have occasions to feel hope amidst apparent self-effacement of the poet. A teacher of philosophy Dr. Mohanty taught in leading Odisha colleges before taking charge as Deputy Director of Public Instructions. He is settled in Bhubaneswar after superannuation as DDPI.
