Sarbangin Poetry Movement - Kobisena Clamour vs Glamour, Random Sarbangin Poetry

Sarbangin Poetry Movement

সর্বাঙ্গীন কবিতা আন্দোলন

After Prakalpana Movement had started I was mulling during 1970-71 the need to initiate a informal  movement of Poetry, which will invent the new path of poetry and publicize poetry among the non- responsive masses of people, springing impromptu performance of poetry in any plausible places. Accordingly, it impacted the birth of kOBISENa (Poetroop).

  In September 1972 a convention was held in Vidyasagar Hall in Kolkata, where the ideals of Kobisena were declared and a Bulletin was to be published. The first Outburst of kOBISENa —> the Poetroop of the poetry by the poetry and for the poetry was published. It was just on a fragile paper and hand composed in a small press yet to start then.  

Though some of our critics always have wanted to demean and devalue us out of their ignorantly or deliberately branding us with Concrete Poetry or type of visual poetry which still they consider as the last terminal of poetry, we have our own brand of Sarbangin Poetry which was launched with the intention of having safe distance with those type of Concrete Poetry and Visual Poetry which mostly can't be performed or read out in the greater public gathering but can be shown only. And one of the main purposes of kOBISENa was to reach out to greater public who are generally not interested in poetry. And the difference of Sarbangin Poetry with concrete type of poetry since its inception, is evident from my first definition above.

Glamour versus Clamour

The most unlikely places for poetry performance were in the corn field, on packed train compartment, on plaza, on the high rise entrance level, beneath the statue, raising loud slogans among the crowd of Cultural Fair and Book Fair book stalls, where even chased and dispersed by the security staff, and Kobisenas in Guerilla tactics again surfaced in another part of the fair and performed poetry, apart from arranging and participating in regular poetry meets. In 1973 Kobisenas with their associates of Kanthaswar and others suddenly surfaced in mute procession of poets and writers with posters and banners, which was unthinkable then, even they Challenged the speakers on the stage for not incorporating younger poets in their biased discussions.

Some other events, in which Kobisenas that time had participated, were  reported by their Bohemian Reporters.

However i have defined Sarbangin Poetry = চেতনাভ্যাস সঞ্জাত স্বচ্ছন্দে চারুকার্য বিস্তৃত পৌনপুনিক শব্দাক্ত + দৃশ্যাক্ত + ধন্যাত্মক + সাঙ্গীতিক উপলব্ধিময় সার্বিক প্রকল্পিত কবিতা ।

The poem, grown out of proper imagination, reveals chetanavyasism by utilizing wholesome artful  repetition of : Word + Visual + Sonorous + Musical Effects in Flow Verse rhythm.     

In other words, Sarbangin Poetry is the whole  music of apt words & images, in Flow Verse diverse with universal rhythms + unrhythms-- in  rhymes and unrhymes.  

SwatotsaR, kOBISENa and PrakalpanA LiteraturE have been the main vehicles of the Sarbangin Poetry Movement.
