My Buqala - by Pankaj Kumar Chatterjee (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

As a first venture of the author into the English poetry, the book contains a collection of short poems. Although short the poems convey a lot, which will make the readers pause before passing form one poem on to the next one. The brevity of the poems makes them comparable to the Buqalas, a type peculiar to Algerian Muslim women who recite them after breaking fast during the holy month of Ramadan. To know more on the Buqala the readers have to swim through the pages of this short book. At the end there are some poems on the theme of the ongoing Ukrainian war.
