This omnibus has brought me much delight. Each of these poems is like a territorial mass encompassing cognitive, precognitive and conscientious endeavors that I am introducing to a new audience. But, there is, perhaps, a better excuse for giving Songs of Barbarism to the public than can be offered for many of the anthologies that have recently been issued. The public, generally speaking, does not know that there are Bangladeshi poets who write in English - to redress this lack of information is, alone, a work worthy of my effort. This anthology is about commemoration, tribute and acknowledgement of our spiritual origins, biological interconnectedness, and religious diversity. It celebrates the wonder of life, of being, and of passing away as machinated phenomena, rather than innate events.
