About the Book:

"Hatath Nirar Janya" (For Nira, Suddenly) is a captivating collection of poems by Sunil Gangopadhyay, one of the most prominent poets of modern Bengali literature. At the heart of these poems is the figure of Nira, a woman who symbolizes the essence of love and longing. In the poet's words, Nira is not just a name but a representation of every woman who inspires the deepest emotions.

This collection brings together several poems written by Gangopadhyay at various stages of his life, all revolving around the theme of Nira, a character who appears in several of his works. The poems evoke a range of emotions, from love and desire to loss and reminiscence. Some of these poems have not been published before, making this book a unique addition to his literary oeuvre.

Gangopadhyay's exploration of Nira invites readers to ponder whether she is a real, living woman or an imagined, symbolic figure, akin to the fictional names of characters in his other poems. The ambiguity surrounding Nira only deepens the emotional impact of the poems, offering readers a profound experience of love, yearning, and the passage of time.
