About the Book:

"Galiber Bou Ja Bolte Pare" by Sebanti Ghosh is a striking collection of poems that blend emotional depth with reflections on gender, identity, and societal norms. The title itself offers a nuanced exploration, focusing on the voice of a woman, imagined as the wife of the famous poet Mirza Ghalib. Through a series of beautifully crafted verses, Ghosh brings forward a woman’s perspective, often hidden behind the curtain of history, urging the reader to contemplate the unsaid and the unseen.

The poems express complex emotions, from personal struggles to larger existential questions. The poet uses her lyrical voice to draw attention to the strength and complexity of women’s voices, often unrecognized, just as Ghalib's wife remains a silent figure in his celebrated works.
