The Bengali poet, Sankha Ghosh (February 5, 1932âApril 21, 2021), who was born in erstwhile East Bengal, passed away in Kolkata at the age of 89, due to COVID-19-related complications. In an article written in
Ananda Bazar Patrika this January, the poet Joy Goswami paid tributes to Ghosh for developing his taste and for teaching him the virtue of baring oneself in poetry, since the age of 26 when he bought his first book.
Reading his poems in Bengali, one is immediately struck by the delicate voice, making its way through ironies. In April 2018, Ghosh walked along with other poets and theatre artists to protest against communal violence during Ram Navami celebrations.
