Synopsis

An old man sits in a corner of the verandah, gazing at the distant horizon—remembering a homeland he can never return to, a home and hearth left behind in exchange for an uncertain future in an alien land, his evenings tinged with sorrow. From such moments, Mukherjee’s poems draw their quiet power, evoking the ache of loss: of homeland, of loved ones, and of the self in the anonymity of modern life. Shaped by images and myths, and written with empathy and delicacy, these poems linger on rootlessness and apathy, the fragility of human relationships, and the fleeting, impermanent nature of existence.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Prasenjit Mukherjee studied English Literature, topping his university at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and taught briefly before joining the civil service. After a long career that took him across India and abroad, he retired and now lives in Gurgaon. Born to a family displaced from East Bengal, themes of displacement, loneliness, and rootlessness run through his poetry. His work draws on memory, lived experience, and cultural myth, with Odisha and Kashmir recurring as significant landscapes. Apart from poetry, he has written fiction and translated from Bengali into English. His short stories have appeared in The Illustrated Weekly of India, and a playlet was published in Enact. He has also translated two novels by Saratchandra Chatterjee, published by Rupa & Co.
