Hyderabad: In an age of fleeting digital attention, a quiet yet powerful literary gem has emerged — Poems Across Time: One Family, Three Voices, an anthology featuring the works of Dr. D.P. Acharya, Bibhu Acharya, and Ansuman Acharya, edited by Bibhu Acharya.
The book arrived without any pre-launch buzz, yet it has gently captured the hearts of literary enthusiasts through word-of-mouth and social media groups.
A recent intimate gathering of scholars and connoisseurs allowed the inspiring story behind this anthology to unfold. A long-forgotten collection of poems, rediscovered during spring cleaning, was lovingly compiled and enriched by Bibhu Acharya. She brought together her own poems, those of her late brother Dr. D.P. Acharya, and contributions from her son Ansuman Acharya, creating a dignified and elegant volume that spans two generations, more than two continents, and several decades.
Syed Anwar-ul-Huda, IPS (Retd), Former Director General of Police (DGP), Andhra Pradesh, has penned a heartfelt review, describing the anthology as both a tribute and a celebration. He highlights the remarkable sensitivity of Dr. D.P. Acharya — a busy medical professional who found time to write poetry of lasting value that has endured for nearly four decades.
Mr. Huda notes that poets are naturally deeply attuned to their environment and write to share their innermost feelings with readers who care. The collection, primarily in free verse, follows the modern poetic tradition pioneered by T.S. Eliot and continues to resonate with contemporary readers despite the challenges of the digital age.
He wishes the anthology great literary and commercial success and looks forward to more creative works from Bibhu Acharya’s pen in the future.
