I have been reading poems of Nilim Kumar since November,2008; but now now I feel that I knew him many many years ago.He is one of the strongest and skilled poet in Assamese modern literature.
I hv read Nilim Kumar’s ‘panit dhou dhoubor maas’,’swapnar relgaari’,’topanir baagicha’,’nimakh’,’narakasur’and ‘dhuniya tirotabor’..I m in search of ‘sheluoi godhuli’ and ‘baari konwer’..i was so much crazy for his poem that i read his poems and kept many of them in mind,when i was in cotton college in my 16-17..he has a strong voice, mode of expression something different.He Presents lifeless objects also in liveliest way..But one thing, does he have a book named ‘xapunar baagicha’ as written here???
