The poetic oeuvre of Jayanta Mahapatra has been highly acclaimed in Indian English poetry for its Indian sensibility and indigenous explorations of Oriya regions. The ebb and flow of his poetic journey is interwoven with his intense desire to give an outlet to his unexpressed expressions and to portray his land with a local color. However, writing came to him quite late but freely but which opened the ‘door’ to the vastness, unknown, and unexplored. Poetry came to him as freely as his spur-of-the-moment imaginative impulse. Leaving the mortal world last year, he has left a legacy of poetry in Indian English and Oriya poetry. Remembering his contribution, this paper makes a critique of his poetry in a response to his portrayal of Oriya land diving it into deep Indian sensibility. Freedom from existing forms and subjects of poetry colors his imaginative and creative impulse with an idiosyncratic impulse which is peculiar to his writing. Digging deeper into the vastness of Orissa, the paper explores how indigenous color and localization have been embodied in his poetic sensibility.
