Abstract

Identity as a narrative, subsumes a host of factors - location, gender, ethnicity, caste, class, language, religion, sexuality, (dis)ability, and more. In a multilingual country like India, language remains pivotal to most identity debates. Within such a context, English has had a tough time establishing its viability as an Indian language by proving its allegiance to the country’s cultural and emotional fabric. The present paper seeks to examine the possibility of a successful construction and communication of a regional Indian identity through Indian English poetry by taking up the case of Odia identity vis-à-vis a recent anthology of poems titled Resonance: English Poetry from Poets of Odisha.
