Contemporary Bangladeshi Poetry in terms of Subject matter, Theme, and Technique: A Reflection

Bangladeshi poetry underwent significant changes in cases of subject-matter, theme, and technique over the period of last 40 years. With the passage of time, it embraced as well as adapted to those changes. De facto, after the year of 2000, how poetry has been fashioned in a new way is brought into focus through this research paper. More particularly, I have studied the subject-matter, theme, and language of four contemporary Bangladeshi poets namely Mujtaba Ahmed Murshed, Obayed Akash, Binoy Barman and Rakibul Hasan. I have considered these less known but substantial poets’ poetry because while coming across their poems I have minutely noticed the changes and variety they have celebrated through their verses. Therefore, I have selected four poetry collections of the aforementioned poets to expose multifarious aspects of the contemporary Bangladeshi poetry.
