Voices in Silence

In times of an existential threat of the pandemic ravaging the world as we know it comes this slim yet substantial collection of poetry from an ancient land with modern sensibilities. A lady poet makes her debut in a language not of her native tongue Odia but in the contemporary nuances of English.Poetry to my mind is a deeply personal testament of unsparing honesty closer to anguish than to philosophy. This collection encounters restlessness and seclusion and the acceptance of aging and unrequited love. - Satyajit Mishra (Joint Secretary Govt. of India)
