Birendra Chattopadhyay Selected Poems

In his preface to this bilingual selection of the poems of Birendra Chattopadhyay (25 Sepetember 1920 - 11 July 1985), his younger contemprary, Sankha Ghosh, poet and critic, describes him as 'in every sense, Bengal's formost poet of protest.' In this new addition to the Thema series of radical literature, readers will discover a poet, uncompromising in his condemnation of social discrimination in his condemnation of social discrimination and injustive, and unsparing in his rage, an iconic figure for the rebellious youth of the seventies in his own state, but so far little known beyond the borders of his own state and language.
