His themes revolve around the war of liberation and the eternal subjects of love, nature, motherland, mother-tongue, tradition, and modernity.

He read the Sanchaita (collected poems) by Rabindranath Tagore during his leisure time after his secondary examination.

Guha's first book of poems Ahongkar, Tomar Shabdo ("Pride, Your Words") was published in 1982.

[6] Professor Syed Manzoorul Islam has described in an introductory note- "Bimal Guha's poems are about the problems of our time, more particularly about the difficulties of adjustment that a feeling and thinking individual faces in an increasingly alienating world.

What makes his poems remarkable is his crisp style which both invokes the rich tradition of the 1930s and charts its distance from it.
