Scent of Rain

Ashwani Kumar
5.00/5 (3 ratings)
Scent of Rain is about remembering Jayanta Mahapatra and his long lived relationship with poetry. It is a mesmeric parable of remembrance, a lushly sensual and spiritual journey between memory and the remains of memory. "Scent of Rain" lurching between absence and presence, is a brooding, melodic mix of a yearning for a rain of rites and a summer poem. Beauty of Scent of Rain lies in its anonymity,fragility and vulnerability to "Amor Mundi"(love of the world), a defining motif in Jayant Mahapatra's life and poetry. And it speaks in the sacred language(s) of the Earth. No wonder it smells like a human body and God's flesh too.
