The 89th birth anniversary of Al Mahmud, one of the most prominent voices in modern Bangla poetry, is being observed on Friday with reverence and remembrance across literary circles in the country, reports UNB.
Born on July 11, 1936, in Brahmanbaria, Al Mahmud played a pivotal role in reshaping Bangla poetry in the post-Tagore era. His acclaimed collection 'Sonali Kabin' (Golden Dowry) brought together themes of rural life, love, history, nationalism, and spirituality in a lyrical and distinctly local voice, earning him wide recognition.
In the early hours of Friday, Bangla Academy paid tribute to the late poet through a commemorative social media post. In the post, the Academy remembered Al Mahmud's contributions to Bangla literature and noted that he had been awarded the Bangla Academy Literary Award in 1968.
