Kanna Theke Mukh Firiye by Binayak Bandyopadhyay [Hardcover]

When tears are replaced by blood flowing from the eyes, that is when people break through all barriers and take to the streets. The journey of resistance and rising as light is vividly captured in Binayak Bandyopadhyay's recent poems, where his pen intertwines with the pulse of the times. Alongside celebrated works like Ma, Uniform Chharo, and Amra Sobai Troy, Binayak has penned poems such as Baish-e and Ar Kokhono Morbe Na, which have stirred readers deeply.

In this collection, readers will discover a new Binayak, a voice that resonates through many tones, reaching the hearts of his audience. While he declares, “Morbar Age Onek Merechhe” (Before death, many were defeated), he also proclaims, “Harar Age Harini Tai Amrai Jitlam” (Before losing, I didn’t give up, so we won). Even as homes, temples, relationships, and music burn, the poet refuses to turn away from grief or accept the death of hope. Instead, he seeks solace in the rain, uttering, “Baish is just a date. Save me, Shravan.”

This collection is an ode to resilience, rebellion, and hope amidst despair, inviting readers to engage with a Binayak who speaks to the soul of the age.
