Abstract

Bibhu Padhi is an intelligent poet with international recognition. He is next only to Jayanta Mahapatra among the Orissan English poets, a poetic flower on the Orissan plant in the garden of Indian English. On the contemporary scenario of Indian English poetry, Padhi is a new signature meriting serious critical attention. Bibhu Padhi constitutes a triumvirate along with Jayanta Mahapatra and the late Niranjan Mohanty — all these three Indian English poets sprouting and springing from the soil of Orissa. They are all rooted deeply in the socio-cultural ethos of Orissa. All these Indian English poets of Orissa obviously stand out ripping through the crowds of several Indian English poets glimmering on the Indian horizon
