I was obsessed with Chinese culture and history for a very long time, mostly because I was primarily consuming Chinese media, and I was even thinking of going a far as learning a bit of Mandarin to interpret some historical poems by Li Qingzhao, a Song Dynasty poet. Anyways I came to the very late realisation that my very limited knowledge of BanglaâMy mother tongue would be better utilised if I want to read beautiful, meaningful poems given our rich culture and tons of poems. Also I'm a fanfic writer so Iike to incorporate some stuff I learn, into my works.
So I want to ask for suggestions for any poems to read?
For context, my bangla linguistic background is:
-Probably studied those Amar bangla boi books up until 6th grade?
-An A in O level Bangla (which is probably 7th grade stuff if you show our curriculum to a Bangla Medium student, but we didn't have stuff to memorise.)
I was raised outside of Southern Asia, so I find it harder to read and understand words compared to people my age, and I haven't touched a bangla book ever since I was done with O levels, so my reading skills are a little in the ditch, but I can definitely polish it over time.
