Recently I was in ICICI Bank. I saw a book “Selected Poems by Bidyut Kumar Sarkar”. When I learnt about the author I was stunned & dazed. I could not resist my emotions & pathos. I made a phone call & spoke to him for 10 minutes non-stop.
I have gone through the book empirically & critically. It is an excellent book of poems, superb, peerless, matchless! His originality & creativity is simply prolific.
Mr Sarkar is not only a brilliant scientist but also a sensible human being & all these depict the same.
I am awaiting the next edition of this book & wish him a very glorious future.

Remarkable Creation of Poetries. Sensibly revolutionary and evolutionary too, filled with sensationally resonating expressions of yours have been really all-across. Exceedingly burst-out - un-heard echoes - and un-sensed scans, murmured-ever within, still emerged out of the nozzle(s) of the signature-etching instrument, have been flooding out the lands of the paper-field - creating there with a potential energy-store, ready any time to be transformed into the impactful impressions - of the fire-‘n’-fury, within and without man-made amusements - of the flowing, and even floating, agonies within reality. Really outstanding has been your Workpiece - no-less than an all-sounding Masterpiece.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to read "Echoes of the Infinite," and I want to start by offering my warmest congratulations. Your collection is a remarkable blend of thoughts on existence, the human experience, and the quest for meaning, coming together in a beautiful symphony of poetry.
The power of your words is truly mesmerizing. Your ability to tap into deep emotions—like longing, grief, wonder, and reflection—offers a profound experience. It’s evident that your poetry speaks on various levels, encouraging readers to look beyond the surface and explore the rich depths of thought you've created. Lines such as “Fear no more heat o’ the sun” resonate with a longing to rise above suffering, while your reflections on life, love, and mortality capture a delicate interplay of vulnerability and resilience.
I found the structure of your collection particularly engaging. Poems like "Midnight Resurrection" and "Hunger & Peace" draw readers in with a compelling urgency. By touching on themes like social justice, environmental issues, and existential fears, your work feels timely and relevant, presenting a commentary not just on personal feelings but on our collective human journey.
Your imagery is striking and stays with the reader long after they've finished reading. The vivid depictions of nature and emotion establish an intimate connection—a rawness that many poets strive for but few achieve. You open up your world to us, making us feel what you feel, which is a hallmark of exceptional poetry.
That said, there are moments where the depth of your reflections might come across as quite intense for some readers. A lighter touch in certain sections or varying the rhythm could help make your work even more accessible while preserving the brilliance of your insights. Think of it as music; softer parts can beautifully contrast with powerful crescendos, enhancing the overall experience.
"Echoes of the Infinite" is far more than just a collection; it celebrates the human spirit’s ability to reflect, feel, and find meaning in a complicated world. Anyway, what you have right now is such a solid foundation for your book, which is essentially a canvas just waiting for the magic of transformation!

The poems have the quality to stir the strings of heart. Unquestionably they can be asset of English literature. In this world there is cruelty & barbarism at one end and at the other quintessential, heavenly feelings and emotions which create art, music, painting, literature, sculpture and so on. The world can be a heavenly abode or a battlefield. It depends on how we create it. The author is a voracious reader. He is blessed to have the instinct to hear whispers of fear, fire & fury as well as celestial tune of heaven. His unflinching faith in God is like a torch which illuminates our soul & leads towards devotion to the Almighty & humanity.
