September on Jessore Road - Allen Ginsberg
Poet Allen Ginsberg wrote September on Jessore Road in the year 1971 and one of my friend, Moushumi Bhoumik sang that song in her special rhythm with full of melancholy. Ginsberg saw the sufferings of people in Bangladesh and India during the war of liberation. His strong interpretation of such a poem remember me the year 1971 (I was a college atudent and fought for the freedom). He was an American poet, socialist, activist and member of the American Academy and Institute of Arts. In the 1960s, while vigorously participating in the anti-Vietnam War movement, he published several poetic works, including Reality Sandwiches (1963) and Planet News (1969). Allen Ginsberg, master poet of Beat Generation received the National Book Award for 1974. He died at the age of 70 in 1997. I wish you all the best in this last days of September 2006 (35 years after the war of liberation). -Monaz Haque
