Abstract

Neelim Kumar is a celebrated modern Assamese poet whose first poetry book was published in 1985. He garnered a wide attention following the publication of his poem, ' Aprayanan' (Non-reproduction). He publishes 18 poetry books besides two novels so far. He adds a new order and dimension in the poetic discourses through his relentless artistic experimentation. In this study, we are trying to discuss the deconstruction of the mythology in his poem ' Narakasur'.
