ABSTRACT | ||
Poetry is the finest form of literature; for that reason, life shines brightly there. This liveliness of life constantly transforms itself. If it’s poetry, then it’s even more profound. The poet Selim Mustafa from Tripura in the 1970s is similar in this respect, or perhaps distinct. He dives deep into life repeatedly, without merely repeating phrases in his poetry. He alters himself for the sake of the continuity of life in his work. He writes fluidly, sharing his own thoughts, which creates a ‘Hungry’ effect in the reader’s mind. Hungry? Opinions vary on whether it’s entirely ‘Hungry’, but there is indeed some friction present. Otherwise, the speed in his poetry wouldn’t manifest in this way. While he doesn’t completely deny the themes expressed repeatedly in the ‘Hungry’ manifesto, he likely acknowledges them. If he didn’t, such influences wouldn’t be present in his work. Indeed, the soil, Jampui hills, communism, pain of partition and the connection to the common people of Tripura repeatedly draw the poet toward poetry. Like a river flowing in its own way—sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent—Selim Mustafa maintains a similar current in his poetry. This poet, caught between ‘Hungry’ and extreme leftist politics, constantly transforms himself, bringing a new flavor to his work. He is a remarkable comet in the poetic sky of Tripura, with the essence of constant change and an undeniable focus on ‘Hungry’. Key Wards: Tripura, Selim Mustafa, Hungry, Poetry, Communism. |
