If I believe that, of all art forms, poetry could still stretch the non-existent membrane of the mind, should my actions be judged? Isn't it important that we talk of human condition more than anything else, if we do so through poets who are writing their first poems? There is no harm done in the spell of simple words, in poets suffering from the consequence of their dreams. We would like to believe. In the ceremony of poetry.
- Jayanta Mahapatra in about ourselves, Chandrabhaga 2/2000
