Selected Poems of Bimal Guha

Bimal Guha is one of the leading poets of Bangladesh. In his poems he portrays patriotism, national history and culture, poverty and irregularities of the society. He made his readers captivated and inspired them right from his first book. From his second volume, the poet’s popularity became more pervading. Without following the traditional ways of his predecessors he creates his own style of writing. He demonstrates great adroitness in the use of simile and imagery. He is also conscious about prosodic exactness of his lines. Uncompromising in life-struggle, Bimal never bends down to the ungraceful. He has revolting fire in himself; he struggles with quick-sand all through his life. During seventies, specially after the liberation war, who have transformed our poetry into newer consciousness and human rejuvenation, and have developed expression of art to arrest time and space into a newer vision-Bimal is one of them. After three decades, he still goes on through the path of poetry with same vigour, energy, belief and determination. This book of translation is presented to a wide area of readers who will find a new dimension in our poetry.
