This volume contains the selected poems in French translation of
two major modern Assamese poets - Nilmani Phookan and Hiren
Bhattacharyya. The poems are selected for their universal appeal.
The translator Binod Kumar Gogoi has taken utmost care to keep the
meaning of the original text. Nilmani Phookan has been influenced
by the French symbolist, and by the Anglo-American imagist poets.
Phookan's poetry is rooted in Assamese culture and replete with
images such as river, mountain, fire, water, house, flowers and
trees. His poems reach the eye, the ear, and the heart of the
readers. Phookan says, "Poetry is the voice of humanity. Whenever
one tries to listen, each person can hear in the quietness of his
own mind the flowing cadence of dawn and dusk, of truth and
beauty." The themes of Hiren Bhattacharyya's poems are very general
like nature, love, sorrow, death, protest and patriotism. His poems
are admired for their simplicity, spontaneity, lyricality, and
naturalness of style and diction. Poetry and Hiren Bhattacharyya
are inseparable. In his last poem, he writes "I want to die/ if
possible, at this very moment/ poetry has taken my sixty years/in
return, I have become rich in words ..."
