Poem Continuous – Reincarnated Expressions

Hawakal presents the 10th-anniversary edition of Bibhas Roy Chowdhury’s Poem Continuous: Reincarnated Expressions. A sense of bereavement haunts Bibhas; the verses bear solemn silence and a delicate touch, where emptiness is part of our existence. Bibhas Roy Chowdhury’s poems present a panoramic vision of our country: poverty-stricken India, a sense of alienation after the Partition of Bengal, fidelity of human relationships. Translator Kiriti Sengupta has tried to feel the essence of the poems, and his translation has focused on new arenas of poetry, keeping in perfect consonance with the original. A translator is a creator, and Sengupta’s translations are the offspring of love’s labor.
