শক্তি চট্টোপাধ্যায়ের সনেট : "আঞ্চলিক দুফি -র নীলিমা"
Abstract:
The tight, systematic form of the sonnet and the intense, reckless lifestyle of
Bengali poet Shakti Chattopadhyay were diametrically opposed. Yet, why
did he embrace the sonnet in his early years as a poet, viewing it as an
opportunity or support? Was there a poetic aesthetic driving this choice, or
was it merely an exercise in mastering word control and arranging them in
rhyme schemes? This article seeks to shed light on these questions while
also exploring the form of sonnet that he idealized. Not only does Shakti
exhibit a liberal, anti-fastidious attitude towards words, but he also blends
so-called 'elegant' and 'crude' elements in an attempt to create a
'counterculture' in his poetry. Shakti Chattopadhyay's poetry remains
untethered by the constraints of thought and language. Even clear
utterances aspire to become subtle hints – a perspective that we will also
explore.
