As i switched my tv on this morning , came news of sad demise of Sourindra Barik, an eminent 'modern' Odia poet belonging to the lot that holds proudly the names such as Ramakant Rath, Brajanath Rath, Prasanna Mishra,Haraprasad Das, Pratibha Satpathy, Sitakant Mahapatra among the others.
Born in the mid-30's, Barik counts many awards including the Sahitya Academy Award(Akasha Pari Nibida, 1988), Bisuv Samman etc.
Apart from 'Akasha Pari Nibida', 'Upabharat', 'Anubharat', 'Luhathu bi Antaranga', 'Samanya Kathana' are some of his major works.
The link below takes you to a translation of Barik's poem translated by the eminent poet Sitakant Mahapatra: The Circus Boy
RIP Saourindra Barik!
