The Earthen Flute, his 15th literary work, has been critically acclaimed by noted authors and poets.
Lorna Dee Cervantes, award-winning poet and activist of American origin, has said that the Earthen Flute is an assortment of poems dwelling with various layers of life and the worldly dwelling in a language beyond many borders of languages.
Jonathan Moody, author of Olympic Butter Gold, has said, “Few poets can harness emotion with spirituality and offer crucial insight; after reading Let the Flowers Bloom, you’ll agree that Sengupta is one of them,”
K Satchidanandan, the globally acclaimed poet from India, has said, "“Sengupta has an uncanny way of mixing memory and myth. The earthly and the ethereal coalesce in these meditative poems to create a rare poetic experience.”
Sengupta’s The Earthen Flute has been highly appreciated by The Lake journal (U.K.).
