We live in the newness of small differences

Sohini Basak’s intricately woven exquisite debut collection breaks boundaries with form and gently collapses reality dream and folklore into each other. There is a sense of endlessness in the interactions of poems with each other and with their sources – which range from Bangla children’s classics to contemporary writers and ecological events. This is a collection that doesn’t stand still despite its elegance and charm somehow continually recreating its own time and space beyond the page.
