More than one year ago I wrote a book The Reciting Pens that bore interviews that I held with three published Bengali poets: Joya Mitra, Ranadeb Dasgupta, and Suddhasatya Ghosh (@সহজিয়া শুদ্ধসত্ব). The book also carried my translations of their few poems. The Reciting Pens was published by the Inner Child Press, ltd. (New Jersey, USA), and it was edited by Stephen L. Wilson along with Kate Lantry. I can remember I was blessed with a wonderful foreword written by Bill Lantry. If you appreciate poetry you can not possibly avoid this book, and I assure all of you that you will be mesmerized (I repeat, mesmerized) by their views on Bengali poetry, poetics, and socio-political influences on Bengali literature as a whole. Friends, I can see you are grabbing your copies now: pothi/pothi/book/kiriti-sengupta-reciting-pens
