Poet Shaheed Quadri is an important name in Bangla literature since the sixties. He has been living in the United States for more than 25 years now.
Atiqul Alam, a young film maker, is working on a full length documentary on the poet’s work. This exclusive interview with Atiqul Alam gives a rare glimpse into Shaheed Quadri’s complex world.
