Ommker Dutta Jay

I am currently a student of Architecture in Chittagong
University of Engineering and Technology (CUET), in
Bangladesh.
The field of poetry and non-fictional writing has always made
me curious from my childhood. My mother, who is as I said as
my teacher and inspiration, introduced me to “books.”
Books of Satyajit Roy, H.G. Wells, Doyle, Shelly, Keats, Dante
and what not. I have Practiced them since childhood. And so,
my history of writing poems began when I was just 10 years old.
Besides I have also directed some of my own film visuals from my
own sense of interest about surrealism and expressionism. And
in addition, written and composed some songs too. Moreover, I
have a family lineage of journalists, poets, photographers, related
to art and literature.
Having a heredity of being involved in art and poem I am also
very keen to start as a professional writer and poet.

The sonnet is usually written for praising a character or a thing.
That can be a Woman, a man, a river or a revolution.
The character is said to be praised, but there are also some
condemnation or questions being given to him/her. (Volta)
The VOLTA section presents a totally opposite attitude of the
character that has been praised all along the previous two stanzas.

My sonnet is written to my highly intelligent "mother". The mother
who is my "teacher", the inspiration for all my work and creation.

The only thing that matters is that the
Poem has to play with the expression of the way
It is expressed, so the limits or rhythms of the word
Are to be taken care of in this way which is an engineering.
The sonnet was created when the
Art and engineering became united.
Sadly, the classical Gharana poems like Sonnet,
Od, Elise, Ballad are missing now.
Lost in the triumph of modern poetry.
I only did a little effort to revive them.
