Timeline

1934

Ramakanta Rath (born 13 December 1934) is one of the most renowned modernist poets in the Odia literature.

Heavily influenced by the poets such as T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, Rath experimented greatly with form and style.

The Quest for the mystical, the riddles of life and death, the inner solitude of individual selves, and subservience to material needs and carnal desires are among this philosopher-poet's favorite themes.

His poetry betrays a sense of pessimism along with counter-aesthetics, and he steadfastly refuses to put on the garb of a preacher of goodness and absolute beauty.

His poetry is full of melancholy and laments the inevitability of death and the resultant feeling of futility.

The poetic expressions found in his creations carry a distinct sign of symbolic annotations to spiritual and metaphysical contents of life.

Often transcending beyond ordinary human capabilities, the poet reaches the higher territories of sharp intellectualism.

The contents have varied from a modernist interpretation of ancient Sanskrit literature protagonist Radha in the poem "Sri Radha" to the ever-present and enthralling death-consciousness espoused in "Saptama Ritu" (The Seventh Season).

Rath was born in Cuttack, Odisha (India).

He obtained his MA in English Literature from Ravenshaw College in Odisha.

1993

He was the Vice President of the Sahitya Academy of India from 1993 to 1998 and the President of the Sahitya Akademi of India from 1998 to 2003, New Delhi.

2009
