Navakanta Barua(1926-2002) is the pioneer of modernity in Assamese poetry. He was born in Guwahati. After obtaining a Master's degree in English literature, he joined the academic profession. He retired as Professor of English, Cotton College, Guwahati. Navakanta has been "Assam’s most loved and respected litterateur". He authored more than 35 books. Among his collections of poetry are He Aranya He Mahanagar, 1951, Eti Duti Egharoti Tara, 1958 and Mora Aru Prithivir, 1973. He also authored novels, belles-lettres and books of literary criticism. He received Prakashan Parishad Puraskar (1974) and Soviet Land Nehru award (1980). He was honoured with the Sahitya Akademi award (1975) for his novel, Kaka Deutar Harh, and the Padma Bhushan (1976). Navakanta Barua has been called “the poet of the crossroads” – one who had an uncanny destiny of finding himself at the crossroads time and again, but who also had the knack of eventually finding the right way towards his destination. A very senior Assamese poet, Nilmoni Phookan, has observed, "Navakanta Barua dominated the realm of modern Assamese poetry. His verses blended the traditions of Assamese, Indian, nay even world poetry. He was by far the true representative of modernism and will forever remain one of the all-time greats of Assamese literature." <ref>http://www.geocities.com/indian_poets/assamese.htmlref>
