Alo Hole Valo Hoto by Binayak Bandyopadhyay [Hardcover]

Poems like ‘Kali Kolkatwali’, ‘Against Eligibility’, and ‘Taste of Dark Kisses’ created a stir in the readers' community as soon as they were published. Vinayak Bandyopadhyay's new collection of poems brings together many such poems. Even if “...death warrants are issued anonymously” rush, “no path is closed.” Longtime readers of the poet will rediscover why Vinayak's poetry is different from everyone else's. Even though “blood is readily available,” “experience becomes a weapon” here, opening an unfamiliar horizon before the reader's eyes. Despite endless fear, it is pronounced, “It is my right to caress the Yakshini!” An essential addition to the recent trend in Bengali poetry, ‘It Would Be Better if There Were Light’; even in the poem ‘Epitaph’, the poet declares, “Will you not prepare a bit of puffed rice for me?”
