Krittibas er Ghor er Katha by Sunil Gangopadhyay, Subrata Rudra [Hardcover]

In the history of Bengali poetry, ‘Krittibas’ is a thrilling name. First published in 1953, this magazine has maintained its glory even after sixty years and remains vibrant today. It holds a vast treasure trove of poetry from the 1950s to the second decade of this century. Such an enthusiastic and long-lived poetry magazine is rare in any language.

Although eminent poets like Sunil Gangopadhyay and the Krittibas group were actively involved with this magazine, they consistently welcomed young talents into its fold. Despite aging, Krittibas has retained its youthful vigor. In ‘Krittibaser Gharer Kotha,’ edited by Sunil Gangopadhyay and Subrata Rudra, poets and poetry workers from the 1940s to the 1990s wrote about various times of Krittibas. This collection shines with the warmth, clamor, and extraordinary narratives of agreement and disagreement in the poetry-centered lives. ‘Krittibaser Gharer Kotha’ is essentially the story of Bengali poetry itself.
