Dear members or readers of MM,

As per Poet Al Mahmud ,"Sunil is not a poet at all."But various
editors/critics have considered Sunil a good poet.Poet Al Mahmud said same for
Poet Rafique Azad and he quoted him as a "Poyer Kobi".(Ref. Al Mahmud's
Dinjapon)

In response to Poet Dr.Tapan Bagchi on Poet Forhad Mojhar ,Poet Hassan Al
Abdullah(MM Message No.27239) said :" He did not write any good poetry at all".
But Late Poet Dr.Humayun Azad personally told me that Forhad wrote some good
poetry though he becomes an Inquilabi columnist.

Late Poet Dr.Humayun Azad rejected Syed Ali Ahsan in his "Adhunik Bangla
Kabita"(Collection) but Late Prof.Dr.Ahmed Sharif mentioned Syed Ali Ahsan as a
Sudho Adhonik Kobi (Ref.Bish Shateke Bangali).

The above is not the complete list but just the hint.

I adore poetry."Poet and Poetry " is one of my interest area.

Most of the above mentioed are my favourite poet and writer.I would like to
agree with them.But I am confused by their comments on other poets.

Is there any proper & wellaccpeted definition of being a poet? Is there any
body who can help me to eliminate my confusion?
