#Perspective / Poetry books to read on this Victory Day

This year, to observe 16 December, we have curated a list of four diverse yet fascinating poetry books for you to immerse yourself in.

POETRY / Our Bangla

My Bangla Sings out every morning One language Many songs

POETRY / Remnants of a burning home

I fell asleep to the chatters of cicadas on a quiet summer night

POETRY / Albert’s dream

A long stretch of time / passed in prison

POETRY / Of longings, of belongings

Women and the earth have to tolerate a lot.  –Kaajal (1965)

POETRY / My heart is a gilded oligarch

My heart is an oligarch: A staunch, pot-bellied, knuckle-cracking middle-aged man lounging carelessly, lazily  in his sitting room with his limbs spread out on a settee

POETRY / Unfaithful month

I spent the last night with your lover 

POETRY / Jogphal

Healthy water-bodies are sunk by envy-blind waste’s outburst  

POETRY / Grief exchange

I carry them openly in these calloused hands and hold them out to you could you tell me I'm worthy of love
