Selected Poems: Kiriti Sengupta

[...] soft and musical, hard and strong, vulnerable and sublime - The Hindu

Sengupta's poetry is far removed from so-called divine seeking. His poems are more akin to the Upanishads-they observe, they analyze, they probe deeper into the very essence of phenomena, and then, they raise questions that remarkably look out for truths. - The Critical Flame

Sengupta absorbs the subtleties of life with a painter's eye and words come out in "full throated ease." The lilting flow of verses pinpoints at the roots, the poet's affinity with his family gushes out with a hidden sense of loss, and the apparent simplicity of his verses, at times, hints at a profound sense of unease. - Colorado Review

[Sengupta] reminds us that the actions we take - day in, day out - are a small part of a larger paradigm of the natural world. No matter one's affiliation or background, Sengupta ultimately leaves us the lasting message that we should find meaning in what comes our way and extend those values into the future. - Athena (Moria Online)

Sengupta's writing is rather distinct and stands alone in the Indian contemporary scene. [His] verse, though exhibiting an array of themes, swims together in one great blue ocean, a humungous, ethereal underbelly which pins everything to the locus of his startling words. We find ourselves in a deep, contemplative experience, one where Sengupta masterfully moves across his subjects with generous ease, all thoughts swaying in a suave lilt. - Cha
