Among the
few poets of the sixties who made a mark, Ashis Sanyal is the
name to reckon with. His ornate coinage of words and imagery,
bereftof verbose and pedantry, has made his poems subtle, lucid
and resonant. |

Jeno Piathy, Chairman, World Congress of Poets |
'Simplicity is the chief glory of his poetry. He is a lover
of humanity and nature, from which he freely draws his images
and symbols His thought pattern and mode of articulation are
strikingly new and original.
