POSHA PAAKHI HOBONA : I WON'T BE A PET BIRD
The last book of poetry penned by Vattacharja Chandan in English and Bengali


"I am intrigued about your publications and theories after reading about you..."

- STEVEN LEBLANC

"....he is the inventor and propagator of a separate, distinctive genre of literary forms.....
All these poems demand listening, - not only reading - and these should be hearkened from Chandan's voice - it's a fantastic experience! I can say it with affirmation, as I have myself heard
it. When Chandan from a stage recites these poems
with music or modulation of tones, we don't know what a game he then plays, whole audience becomes undulating, they want to put their own voices to
Chandan's but visibly can not - because the people
here suffer from false sense of vanity...."

- DILIP GUPTA



 


"The fact that your poem is among them is a testament to the diversity of your poetic talent.
We feel your poem can be appreciated not only in
print, but can also be enjoyed by people listening
to it presented aloud by a professional reader."

- HOWARD ELY
Managing Editor,The International Library of Poetry

"You get the impression that Chandan is just having fun with language - chasing it around in the hope that it will lead him somewhere significant. As always, of course, significance resides in the chase itself....His writing brightened up my day considerably."

- PAUL McDONALD in NHI REVIEW ON LINE,U.K.
