Shahid Qadri (born 14 August 1942) is a Bangladeshi poet and writer. ==Career== Qadri is one of the prominent poets of post-1947 Bengali poetry, who brought a new angle to the Bangladeshi scene by introducing urbanism and a sense of modernity. His poetry is infused with patriotism, cosmopolitanism and universalism and in its treatment of nature and city life, it delves deep into the conflicts and the sense of alienation pervading modern life.〔 For his poetry, he was awarded Bangla Academy Award in 1973. Though he published only four books of poetry, "his tone, alliteration, images and the use of simile made him a unique contributor of Bengali verse."〔Shabdaguchha, Special Translated Issue, Issue 9, Hassanal Abdullah (editor), 2000, New York〕 Qadri became friends with the great Shamsur Rahman though he was about fourteen years younger than Rahman. The story of the on-going ''adda'' by these two poets at ''Beauty Boarding'', Dhaka, in the 50's and 60's became legendary. At the age of fourteen, he was first published in ''Kabita'', edited by Buddhadeb Bosu, who is also a major poet of the 30's; Qadri subsequently became a well-known figure among the poets of Dhaka and Kolkata.〔Shaheed Quaderi: Somoyer Sampanna Swar (Shaheed Quaderi:The Perfect Voice of Time), by Hassanal Abdullah Labu Bhai Foundation, Dhaka & New York, 2005〕 After the publication of his third book, Qadri stopped writing and started living in London and Germany. Later, in the 80's, he moved to the United States and started living in Boston, where he married his second wife, Dana Qadri; she died in the late 90s. Since then, he has returned to writing again and published his fourth book in 2009. Although it has been said that "in the last issue of ''Kali O Kolom'' () broke his near three decades of silence by penning two poems,"〔 he actually broke his silence by contributing to the very first issue of ''Shabdaguchha'', a bilingual poetry journal, published in New York.〔Bidesh Bibhuya Eka, Shaheed Quaderi, Shabdaguchha, Issue 1, 1998, New York〕 His poems have been translated into English by many scholars, such as Kabir Chowdhury, Kaiser Haq, Farida Majid, and he was awarded the Bangla Academy Award in 1973.〔http://www.banglaacademy.org.bd/banglaacademy_award.php〕 Mr. Qadri also received the Ekushey Padak, the highest national award of Bangladesh, in the category of Language and Literature, in 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shahid Qadri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
