Prem er Kabita by Binayak Bandyopadhyay [Hardcover]

One of the leading poets of contemporary Bengali literature, Vinayak Bandyopadhyay’s poetry is not unfamiliar to readers. In a short time, he has created a unique poetic world. The distinctiveness is perhaps most evident in his love poems, where the exuberance of emotion blends with the stillness of pain, and the golden sunlight of arrival sparkles in the waters of departure. In the compiled and uncompiled poems of this collection, readers will find not only effortless rhythm and seamless presentation but also an unseen horizon that brings to life an unprecedented design of space-time-dimension on the canvas of the heart. From unimaginable points such as Barack Obama, Bhai Chhuti, or Tintin, Vinayak’s love poems emerge. This is perhaps why lines like "Why are you taking a selfie, paint yourself with me" shine like diamonds. Amidst arrangements of separation, Vinayak's pen can effortlessly say, "To come to me... / you must not think of returning."
