Debashish is a poet and writer deeply influenced by the surrealism, Dadaism, and magical realism movements. His work draws inspiration from literary greats like Orhan Pamuk, Haruki Murakami, Gabriel García Márquez, Günter Grass, and Paulo Coelho. In poetry, he finds resonance with the works of Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, and modern poets such as Carol Ann Duffy, John Burnside, and Richard Blanco. His writing explores the complexities of life, touching on themes of relationships, political chaos, commodification, and the shifting dynamics of modern society and economics.
A world traveler, Debashish has lived and traveled across the UK, continental Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the U.S., enriching his worldview and artistic insights. Professionally, he has worn many hats, from working as a copyeditor in academic publishing to serving as a quantitative analyst in an advisory capacity. He was also the Editor-in-Chief of the now-defunct TheAlchemyPost, a magazine he co-edited with Jim Dunlap, a prominent poet from Des Moines, Iowa.
Debashish is a trained theoretical physicist, adding a unique analytical dimension to his literary work. In addition to his poetry, he has extensive experience as a ghostwriter and is available for writing assignments, collaborations, and peer reviews, offering his expertise in both creative and academic spaces.
