Staff Correspondent
With the launching of books and announcement of new arrivals at the Nazrul Mancha inside the Bangla Academy, the second day of the Amar Ekhushey Granthamela somewhat recovered from the tardiness of Sunday when most stalls were yet to complete their decorations.
Thirty-five new books including stories for children and teenagers,
fiction, poetry, essay, biography, drama, and travelogue arrived yesterday.
In the afternoon, Liberation War Affairs
Minister AKM Mozammel Huq launched "Address '71" by Sheikh Abdur Razzak and freedom fighter Amina Begum.
The 71-page book, published by Bhalobasha Prokashani, contains the
story and current address of the 1971 war rape victims, said Razzak.
The book is selling at bikroy.com forTk 71.
Amina Begum, former assistant secretary of Nari Punorbashon Board, Sirajganj, hoped that this book would help the new generation researchers know more about the sacrifice of those women.
Some of the victims-Rahima Khatun, Bhanu Khatun and Kamala Bewya from Sirajganj and Rahima Begum from Chapainawabganj-were present at the programme.
INTERNATIONAL LITERARY CONFERENCE 2015
The first five sessions of the conference at the Bangla Academy hardly saw any crowd in the morning.
Only about 50 people were present in the Abdul Karim Sahitya Bisarod auditorium in the morning sessions.
The sparse presence did not escape the notice of even popular West Bengal writer Shirshendu Mukhopadhyaya.
"I expected the hall to be full but maybe it did not bring in much crowd because it is work day or due to the current situation of the country," he said at his session with Bangladeshi writers Selina Hossain and Syed Shamsul Haq.
Today the theme of the conference is contemporary poetry, and both national and foreign poets would read from their works in four sessions from 10:00am to 5:30pm.
NATIONAL POETRY FESTIVAL 2015
Meanwhile, the national poetry festival ended last night on the Dhaka University Central Library premises with the hope for a violence-free, developed, peaceful and united country.
Aslam Sunny, general secretary of the National Poetry Council, said more than 300 poets from home and abroad took part, and 500 poems were recited in the two-day festival.
