Amar Trishnar Jol Rokto Hoye Ache by Rajatsubhra Majumdar [Hardcover]

The mother collapsing near the blazing pyre of a raped daughter, the bride’s face charred by the vengeance of her in-laws, a mother abandoned at the Ganga Sagar fair, a sharecropper driven to suicide under the weight of debt, the emaciated body of a child laborer scarred by injustice, a little girl in a red frock frozen before the corpse of a farm laborer slain in a battle for territorial dominance - everywhere, there is only blood, blood, and more blood!

Why so much blood? Is this the Ruposhi Bangla of Jibanananda’s dreams? Just 68 years after that poetry collection was published by Signet Press in 1957, why has another poet been compelled to write Amar Trishnar Jol Rokto Hoye Ache.
