About This Book

A series of short lyric poems dwelling in twilight and liminal moments, using nature imagery—sea, moonrise, mist, and fog—to evoke longing, loss, and spiritual yearning. Many pieces pair musical, spontaneous phrasing with devotional and symbolic reflection on mortality, love, and creative solitude, while occasional poems address cultural hybridity and moral questions. Shifts between quiet descriptive scenes and more urgent apostrophes emphasize emotional intensity; recurring motifs of light, silence, and song knit the sequence into a contemplative arc. The language often echoes Bengali rhythms, favoring evocative imagery over formal narrative.
