Dear Chakrabarty Mohasoi,
You wrote,
a poet is some one who brings forth happy marriage between "satya"
and "sundar" (truth and beauty.)
I
appreciate your expression. In the realm of literary aesthetics poetry has a
lofty stand. A poet creates everlasting beauty in tears and smiles both. The
other aspect of poetry is its power to depict pain in its foremost form. Pain
is not a depressing phenomenon although many people think so. An Urdu poet
wrote, armano ki khoon honesy kiss tarha rota hain rooh, pooch uss dulhansey
jiski baarat wapas gayee hain. When a desire is assassinated how the heart
cries, ask that bride whose bridal party has gone back. You are very right that
with the changing time our poetry is also changing but as long as a poet will uphold
the principles of satya and sundar, poetry will continue to attract us. Poet
Jibanananda Das as a modern poet is difficult to many traditionalists but he is
a very powerful and conscious poet. I would say he is a very important
deviation from Tagore or Nazrul and proved his poetic prowess.
I have found many of his poems are exclusively beautiful, meaningful and thought
provoking. He was a very enlightened and educated poet too. Therefore with the
change of time a good poet will always deliver good poems for us and the
posterity. The relations between poetry and revolution is always there. A Bengali
poet wrote during the British colonial rule, Swadhinota hinotai kay banchitey
chai? Many poets became famous for their
patriotism and nationalistic fervour. Nazrul and Walt Whitman are among them.

Akbar Hussain
