About the author

Born in Bhowanipore area of pre-independence Kolkata (1939), Utpal Kumar Basu spent his school days in Baharampur (Murshidabad, West Bengal) and Dinhata (Coochbehar, North Bengal). A geologist by education, Basu has traveled far and wide over the seas and years. An educationist by profession, Basu is recognized as a trend setter in modern Bengali Poetry. Utpal Kumar Basu was an eminent vernacular poet, educationist and translator. He began writing while studying at Scottish Church College and became a part of the Krittibash group of young Bengali poets. From the very first collection of poems entitled Chaitre Rochito Kobita -1956, he found a unique diction of language, expression and form for his poetry. He had chosen mysticism over sentimentalism, vivid objective observation over lyricism. After receiving his master's degree in geology from Presidency College he joined Ashutosh College as a lecturer where he met his future wife Santana, a lecturer in the English Department.(Santana was previously awarded the Indira Sinha Gold Medal for securing the highest aggregate of marks at the B.A, examination from Bihar University in 1955 among girl students.) Utpal left for England in the mid -sixties where he spent a decade as an educationist and associated himself with various socialist organisations. Returning to India in the late seventies he worked as a project officer for the University Grants Commission, an advisor and teacher at St Xavier's College in the field of Mass Communication. He died on 3 October 2015 in Kolkata.
