Mozid Mahmud (Bengali: মজিদ মাহমুদ), (born 1966) is a Bangladeshi poet and essayist. He is recognized as a major poet of the 1980s, with more than thirty books to his credit.

Life

Mozid Mahmud is the pen name of Mohammad Abdul Mozid. He was born in 1966 at Chargargori, a village thirteen km away from present Pabna district in the family of Mohammad Keramat Ali Biswas and Sanowara Begum in Bangladesh.[1]

Education

He completed his early education in the local school and college. In 1986, he crossed the Jamuna and went to capital Dhaka, where he attended the University of Dhaka to receive an MA degree in Bengali literature and Language in 1989 with a First Class.[2] He was awarded a research grant by the Nazrul Institute in 1996, the result of which was Nazrul: Spokesman of the Third World (Nazrul: Tritiya Bishwer Mukhopatro; 1997) published from the same Institute. He also awarded a research fellow by the University Grand commission, the result of which was Travelodge of Tagore (Rabindranather Vraman Sahitya 2010).

Career

A journalist by profession, he carefully escapes the arena of popular and prosaic day-to-day information that the job deserves, and dives into the invincible deep of poetic inspiration from where he collects pebbles of pictures, aroma of feelings and intense fabric of thought, after which an automatic mental process of jeopardizing them continues in its own accord. He taught Bengali Literature at some colleges and universities for almost five years.
