The humanitarian scientist speaks: "Burn my books, and go lift the world! Let me live in your blood, not in books." Until Abhijit Naskar came along, poetry was primarily associated with love and romanticism. He opened up new vistas of poetry, by making it a mainstream vessel of expression for justice, equality, integration and awareness. As the world's first multicultural poet and scientist, Naskar stands not only as a bridge between cultures, but also as a bridge between disciplines.
