Ajit Dutta (1907 - 1979)

At the initial stage of modern Bengali poetry, Ajit Dutta emerged as a poet. He had spearheaded the movement called 'modern poetry' along with Buddhadev Basu. But his poetic self was engrossed with romanticism. His notable books of poems were 'Kusumer Maas' (1930), 'Patal Kanya' (1938), 'Nashta Chand' (1945), 'Chhayar Alpana' (1951) etc. Despite being branded as a modern poet, he has shown lenience towards traditional style and content.
