| Shadow Space is a collection of poetry by Jayanta Mahapatra, the first Indian English poet to win the Sahitya Akademi Award. The poems are melancholic in nature, filled with images of death, illness, pain, guilt, desire, and moments of renewal, and true to human self. Written in blank verse, these poems endure the sweet memories of the past and the fruitlessness of the present. A fine collection focusing on the spirit of yester years. |
