Senior IAS officer of Odisha, Mr. Bishnupada Sethi, is as much known for his work as a public servant as for his writings. One of his books of poetry, Beyond Here and Other Poems (2021), was recently selected for the MA English course by the University of Mumbai.

The poems in this book portray a multitude of emotions the poet felt as he saw the miseries people suffered and endured during the pandemic. His words bring to life vivid scenes from that unprecedented time when the entire world seemed to be in mourning – mourning the loss of lives, loss of livelihoods, loss of freedom, and the loss of dignity, even in death.

In this video interview, the 1995 batch IAS officer, who is currently posted as Principal Secretary in Government of Odisha, speaks about his journey as a poet, with special emphasis on his book, Beyond Here and Other Poems.
