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.
