Ekta Jiban Tomay Chara by Smaranjit Chakrabarty [Hardcover]

Although Smaranjit had been writing poetry for a long time, his poems had never really come to the forefront for readers. In his poetry collection "Ekta Jibon Tomay Chhara" (A Life Without You), Smaranjit primarily captures the act of living in the city and its suburbs through the lens of love. The poems depict small human desires, likes, dislikes, unsaid words, and the descriptions of unspoken sorrow - sometimes through rhythm and rhyme, and at other times through prose poetry.

Additionally, the collection explores where love fits into a person's life, how they wish to live, whom they long to reach, and how, when that desire remains unfulfilled, a person becomes distant even from themselves. The collection holds some poignant images of how "a life without you" is lived.
