Bikelbelar Kabita O Ghasfuler Kabi by Joy Goswami [Hardcover]

This is the twilight hour when the poet's nature resonates with the Puria-Dhanashree raga. In this period, the emphasis is on expression rather than form. Hence, our poet is no longer concerned with whether it's a story, a poem, or a deep narrative that blurs the boundaries of story and poetry. Rather, his afternoon poems and the reading of "Ghasfuler Kobi" make it clear that this is the right time to say what hasn't been said before.

The inclusion of "Ghasfuler Kobi" in this poetic anthology is because the poet wants to express the truth of his experiences. And, "Ghasfuler Kobi" is a complete embodiment of a poem, as readers will understand upon reading it. Overall, this book is enriched with a new language by Joy Goswami. It is infused with the light of maturity. The sound of generous truth resonates through every page in the glowing heat of the setting sun.

As the poet puts it—"Look, the sun has set, there is also the light of maturity on its face. Is the fire of the sunset too intense? Then it's better to keep it calm." How will peace come? Only poetry can bring peace. Or perhaps a game like poetry, for which one can wait a lifetime. The poet writes—"In this dusty evening of the poet's life, see your game, my despondent game, with two wings spreading beyond the sunset."

This passage captures the essence of the poet's mature reflections and his timeless quest for truth and peace.
