you have praised highly binoy's ...dear aryanil,<br />you have praised highly binoy's bold and revolutionary depiction of sexuality in poems which are popularly known as vutta series or corn-cob series poems.but in these writings one can find only detailed descriptions of preparation and actual acts of sexual intercourse of a man and a woman.there is no poetry in these writings.binoy actually revolutionized the depiction of sexuality in his truly memorable but less known book of poems-'aghraner anubhutimala'(chains of autumnal feelings).in the poems of this book binoy in highly metaphorical language has described the male and female sexual organs including the rectum.in the background of these descriptions (some of which are highly repulsive) binoy expresses hid ideas of love and separation,life and death,truth and falsehood,mind and matter and on various subjects which simply overwhelm the reader with wonder and pleasure.this book should be translated immediately into major european languages. as a poet binoy is great and unique.the world should know his poems and his poetical thought.--tarun bandyopadhyayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061350976692213434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5593764226213882767.post-67843157629171130152016-06-20T08:27:37.357-07:002016-06-20T08:27:37.357-07:00thank u aryanil for your commentary on binoy majum...thank u aryanil for your commentary on binoy majumder,kindly note the following--1)nakshatrer aloy--is- in the star light and not-star light,2)the name of the second book of binoy is--gayatrike of which phire eso chaka is the second edition,3)aghraner anubhutimala(autumnal feelings) is his 5th book,4)binoy also wrote some valuable essays the most important of which is--ishwarir swarachita nibandha(essay written by goddess herself),in it binoy described his own poetic theory,if translated in english or other european languages benoy may also be accepted as a great literary theorist,have u seen books of benoy edited by me and published by prativash?--with love--tarun bandyopadhyayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061350976692213434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5593764226213882767.post-40056953350054906132014-06-10T19:58:22.508-07:002014-06-10T19:58:22.508-07:00Binoy Majumer has used mathematical concepts in hi...Binoy Majumer has used mathematical concepts in his poetry.
