707:- His outstanding contribution is not only creating a new sonnet form, he also wrote a 304-page epic, Nakkhotra O Manusher Prochhed, where he illustrated the relation between human beings and the universe using several scientific theories. The poet talks about this in an interview with a British poetry Journal, The Seventh Quarry. He said, “...I wrote it on the scientific understanding of the relation between human beings and the universe.Poets, from more than ten languages, gathered at the Poets House, New York, to celebrated Hassanal Abdullah’s book publication ceremony, co-sponsored by Poets House and Cross-Cultural Communications. Later, Naoshi Karyama, a Japanese poet, praised the book as, “...a unique, remarkable book, ...that has powerful words and images.” Adel Gorgy, a renowned American painter, used several poems of Hassanal Abdullah to incorporate his artwork. Queens Public Library collaborated with him arranging a 3-day International Poetry Festival to mark the 15 years anniversary of the magazine, Shabdaguchha, of which he is the founder and the editor since 1998. Hassanal Abdullah translated more than 30 Bengali poets into English, 12 and a significant number of world poets including Charles Baudelaire, Nâzım Hikmet, Tomas Tranströmer, Nicanor Parra, and Wislawa Szymborska into Bengali. In addition, an entire issue of Anubhuti, a literary magazine from Bangladesh was published in 2015 to honor Hassanal Abdullah’s significant contribution to poetry.He was also invited by the Chinese government to attand the International Silk Road Poetry Festival in June of 2016 -first from Bengali . An Interview with Hassanal Abdullah at VOA (Voice Of American) Bangla Radio:
629:, Hassanal Abdullah is a fine poet, translator, and editor of a world-renowned international bilingual (Bengali-English & Other Languages) magazine. He is also the author of 37 books of his own original poetry, many in bilingual format (Bengali-English). He has also been published widely in many parts of the world--Italy, Wales, Poland, India, Vietnam, Korea, China, Japan--and, of course, America and Bangladesh. I am Abdullah's publisher in the USA, and I note that there are many errors in the data above in the argument. For instance, he is not from Nigeria; he's from Bangladesh, currently living and working in New York. I nominated him for the Homer Medal, which was received in China at the Silk Road International Poetry Festival, last June, 2016, for which he was invited gratis by the Chinese government. I strongly suggest that Hassanal Abdullah's listing in Knowledge (XXG) be retained. --Stanley H. Barkan, Publisher, Cross-Cultural Communications, 1 April 2017
1182:. You believe that this is an important work - but are you an expert? A professor of Bengali literature? Is Labu Bhai Foundation a reliable publisher, with peer review and such? All we have so far is a single newspaper article you cite in which one of the subject works is, AGF, reviewed by a notable writer/scholar. That's a good start, but more is needed. Also, as noted above, the fact that he does not yet have an article on Bengali Knowledge (XXG) is a red flag: if he is not important enough to have an article about him in Bengali, it is unlikely he is important enough for us. --
220:. No reviews of his work, some minor awards, very little coverage. Nothing in Google News, few mentions in Google Books but in passing, at least one source refers to Nigerian poet Hassanal Abdullah (b. 1967) (same subject or different?)... Another red flag - tried searching for info on his recent (2016) book, "Hollowness on the Horizon" by Naznin Seamon, and I get 4 google hits (in any case, it seems he was a translator here, not writer). Granted, we have to keep
408:, which looks pretty much like a blurb one writes when asked by an event organizers, i.e. it was likely written by the subject. Google search for " Swatantra Sonnets" is only 220 hits, mostly amazon and social media. No sign this work received any critical reception. Please note the publication date - 2017. Way too soon for them to be important. Also, Feral Press is an obscure publisher, possibly a vanity press.
989:; unfortunately Google Translate does not indicate who is the author (I can't find mention of Jyoti Prakash Dutta there, and our article on him does not contain his name spelled in Bangladeshi script, so I cannot search for it in the original article). I am sorry, but those claims seem to me like, well, hoaxes. To prove me wrong, please provide links, or if the sources are not digital, scans of the material. --

Hassanal Abdullah in a Daily news paper of Bangladesh, The Bhorer Kagoj, congratulating him on his 50th Birthday in advance by calling him "a significant Bengali poet". I encourage English reader to read it in google translation. The same paper also published a review of his book.
725:
Please don't cast double votes... And seriously, Knowledge (XXG) is not a place to promote someone. If he is so oustanding, then he needs to get recognition from reputable institutions/publications first. And when you mention other sources, please cite or reference them properly.
