ABOUT THE BOOK

An outstanding book of poetry
Nabaneeta Dev Sen was one of the foremost Bengali
writers of her generation—a poet, a novelist, a scholar,
a humorist, a playwright. For the first time comes a
translation of her poetry into English that gathers some
of the deepest, most beautiful and revealing work she
ever created.
These luminous poems explore the joys and agonies
of first love, motherhood, and decay with a restless,
tactile imagination, both picking apart and celebrating
the rituals that make us human. And it shows Dev
Sen—a fiery feminist, formidable academic and political
activist—at her most human, most intimate. Stunningly
translated with lightness and lyricism by her daughter
Nandana Dev Sen, this radiant collection is at once
compassionate and unsparing, conversational and
symphonic.
