Harlem re Rati

Harlem re Rati (Night in Harlem) is interestingly, the latest Poem of Haraprasad Das which lends the title to this remarkable compilation. This compilation of Odia poems by Haraprasad Das, has been done specially in fulfilment of the mission of Black Eagle Books to bring the ethno-global nuances of the very finest Odia Poetry, to the sprawling Odia diaspora. It may come as a pleasant surprise to the readers that the Indian New Poetry has broken away from the modernist stranglehold of the Global-West and has   reinvented its modernity in Poetry by reusing all renewable implements of its civilizational experience. The poetry of Haraprasad Das, recipient of the highest National Honors for his Poetry, bears testimony to this. This, in fact, is the creative ferment with which Indian Poetry goes global and Odia Poetry is led firmly into the Twenty-first Century ! By publishing this remarkable work, Black Eagle Books fulfils a mission of engaging the world with the best of Odia literature.
