Author Information

Bijoyini Das is a celebrated Odia writer, poet, and social worker whose prolific career spans over three decades. She has authored more than thirty books, including novels, short stories, diaries, and poetry collections, and her works have appeared widely in newspapers and magazines across Odisha. Known for her lyrical grace and evocative imagery, Das's writing often blends personal reflection with social consciousness, exploring themes of devotion, tradition, and the struggles of women within cultural frameworks. Her versatility allows her to move fluidly between genres-poetry, fiction, and essays-while maintaining a distinctive voice marked by emotional depth, ceremonial cadence, and a commitment to social reform. Beyond literature, she has contributed as an editor and counsellor, embodying a rare synthesis of artistry and service. Dr. Gurudev Meher, a distinguished translator and academic, is an Associate Professor in the PG Department of English at Ravenshaw University, Cuttack, Odisha. With over fifteen years in academia, he excels in postcolonial criticism, diaspora studies, and translation. His research is published in prestigious journals worldwide. His passion for literature and translation is evident in his work on diasporic writing and translating Odia novels into English, bridging cultural narratives and reaching a wider audience. His notable translations include The Changeover, the English version of Surendra Mohanty's Kalantara, and Night in the Metropolis and Other Stories, both published by Bloomsbury Publishing and Black Eagle Books in 2019 and 2023, respectively. These works highlight his skill in preserving Odia literature's essence for global readers.
