Abu
Taher Mojumder has been walking down the literary path for
a long time. He mostly writes poetry and here are a few of
his beautiful poetry collections.
 Ami
Andharei Thakte Chai (I long for darkness)
Abu Taher Mojumder
Ankur Prakashani Dhaka; February 2005
Apart
from being a poet, Abu Taher Mojumder is also a lyricist.
This book covers Mojumder's lyrical works that have been put
into the form of songs by renowned musicians of the country.
The ballads are compiled in different segments: patriotic
songs, songs on ekushey, love songs, folk songs,
religious songs and children's songs. His ballads are characterised
by themes such as patriotism, war of independence, nature,
love, note of protest against oppression and exploitation,
human relationship recollection of the past, joys and sorrows
of life etc. The cover designed by eminent artist Quayum Chowdhury
has certainly added an extra glamour to this volume.
 Demons
and the Flag of Life
Abu Taher Mojumder
Ankur Prakashani Dhaka; November 2004
Abu
Taher Mojumder generally writes poems in Bangla and only occasionally
in English. This is his first collection of such poems. In
this collection Mojumder treats the themes of love and patriotism
poignantly and touchingly. International issues such as disguised
imperialism, show of false love for democracy, human rights,
etc., agitate his mind and stir his spirit of antagonism to
such things which he denounces openly. His love for humanity
and the victims of wanton tyranny are clearly manifest in
poems dealing with such themes. In this volume one can easily
sense how the poet has detested foreign aggression wholeheartedly.
 Anantakal
Ei Janalay (Beside this window forever)
Abu Taher Mojumder
Ankur Prakashani Dhaka; February 2002
This
compilation of poems is unique in every respect. Here we come
across a new poet who seems to be more mature, optimistic
and devoted to reality. Love has taken a whole new dimension
here. The title poem opens a wide window before us and explores
deep into the human psyche. The poem begins in love, browses
through history, sketches the darker side of today's world
and ends in optimism. This book is a must read, especially
for those who love poetry.
