Summary: The Lyrical Poet in English Translation
Comment: "there, in the clouds of the sravon sky / I have laid my tear-washed eyes./ awake are they, blinkless, all night / gazing beyond the horizon of separate/ staring for the one who has gone beyond sight / dreaming of the mass of her hair/ that is flying with the gust of the east wind / in the green tamal wood/ on the pathway along which she departed / at the setting twilit hous./ pain is entwined in its grass/ trembling with the breath of its blades./ that backward looks of hers/

over and over again/ cling on to its shadows/

Songs of Tagore Mohammad Anisur Rahman

This book has emerged from the author's attempts to translate songs of Rabindranath Tagore for non-Bengali listeners and members of singing groups that the author has directed, and for participants in international seminars and workshop where songs have been exchanged as a cultural dialogue between nationalities in-between nationalities in-between intellectual exchanges. An introductory chapter of the book narrates the story of the author's 'personal journey' with his translations. Thereafter the author discusses the place of song in Tagore's philosophy, as a pathway and communication as the poet saw it between the human and the Divine. The book contains translations of some 66 songs of Tagore under major themes.

The book also presents a selection of paintings of a group of artists who have joined in a companion project to do paintings on songs of their choice from those presented in this book

Rabindranath Tagore Rabindranath Tagore was born in 1961 into one of the foremost families of Bangal at Jorasanko in Calcutta. His ceaselessly innovations in poetry, prose, drama and musics made him indisputably the greatest poet of Bengal. His works run to 29 large volumes. He wrote over 2000 songs, which have become the national music of bengal and include the national anthems of both Bangladesh & India. Late in life he took up painting, exhibiting in Moscow, Berlin, Paris, London and New Youk. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. He created the school and international University of 'Visva Bharati' at Shantiniketan.
