Shim Latar Nupur by Saikat Mukhopadhyay [Hardcover]

It is a beautiful collection of Bengali poems. The poems in this collection were primarily written in the years 2020 and 2021. Such a period of crisis, such a dark time, has rarely come in the history of the world. As a result, it is quite natural that the poems contain imagery of black snow falling from the sky, soul-devouring termites, women of mercury, the shadow river by the side of Fatepasha village, and the death-consciousness-filled imagery of a train rushing with astonished corpses. Yet, they remain with artistic hints, with incredible brightness of imagination. And there remains the tale of love surpassing death, which continuously chants, 'Eternal, eternal, eternal'.
