Kaurab is a Bengali language literary magazine.[1] & others. The Kaurab Magazine (Kaurab Patrikaa) has been in print since 1970. In 1982 it won the D. K. Gupta award as the most distinguished Bengali literary magazine.[2] Kaurab's online version, Kaurab Online, is an electronic webzine of poetry and poetics, and houses an international translation and poetry book review archive. The webzine began in 1998, initially as a member site, moving on to becoming an independent dot com site in 2003.[3] The publication of Kaurab's 100th print issue was celebrated in the Indian Museum on 5 December 2004 with a poetry festival.[4] Since then the magazine has been edited by its online editor Aryanil Mukhopadhyay (Mukherjee) supported by Kaurab's second generation writers Sabyasachi Sanyal, Sudeshna Majumdar and Subhro Bandopadhyay.[5] In 2007, the new editorial team and its group of poets/writers around the world took the magazine to an unprecedented height by launching an International Poetry Reading/Discussion Series conducted over three continents in three languages - Bengali, English and Spanish. Poets from India, England, Spain, Chile and the US have participated in these events. The print magazine is presently irregular, while the webzine version is bii-annual.
