About the Book

In Shuni Shudhu Nirab Chitkar, Shankha Ghosh presents a collection of poems that capture the silent cries of lives wounded by unchecked power and injustice. These cries, often drowned in the resounding cacophony of global reactionary forces, leave a profound echo within the poet's soul. This resonance eventually blends with the poet's solitude, reflecting his own loneliness and introspection.

Through these verses, Ghosh lays bare the silent agony and resilience of human spirit amidst oppression, making this collection both haunting and thought-provoking.
