Love, Another Name of DivinityLove Another Name of Divinity

Love, Another Name of Divinity is my second anthology of fifty one lovely amorous lyrics. Since my childhood, I have been deriving much pleasure from literature, especially from poetry. So poetry is my love and passion. Poetry is my soul. The poetry of the English poets (from John Milton to T S Eliot) has influenced my life so much. I am very impressed by the poetry of the Indian poets (from the Sufi poets to Rabindranath Tagore). I can t think of my life without poetry. The world of poetry is totally different from reality. It is filled with beauty, love and happiness. It gives me aesthetic pleasure and infinite joy both of which are not possible to gain in this mundane world. I can easily transport myself to Paradise on the wings of imagination which is the key to my creativity. The beautiful poems of my book, Love, Another Name of Divinity have come straight from the core of my heart. I have presented the essence of Divine love in our life in my poetry. My verses are the songs on love for man, Nature and their Creator, the Almighty God. My poems are also about my childhood, my experiences of life, my journey on the road of life, my writings, time and existence. I hope the poems of my book Love, Another Name of Divinity like those of Your Love, My Inspiration will touch the hearts of the readers and surely captivate them.

'Love, Another Name of Divinity' is his second anthology of fifty one poems that celebrate the feeling of love. The mood is often joyous and robust. Typical Bengali writer - English education; English poetry; Rabindranath Tagore and music meet and intersect to form inner landscapes - Dipankar deifies poetry and love in various aspects and stands in a worshipful attitude before the altar of the Muses. The language is, well, the language of a smitten lover - just ecstatic!
