Poem
Continuous
is a wonderful introduction to the lush world of Bengali poetry. With many
translations I always have the distinct feeling that I’m reading a translation.
I can see, and feel, the hesitancy and the uncertainty. What has the translator
left out, perhaps for expediency, which I am now missing? Not so here! This is a seamless, and highly readable,
English translation of some very accomplished Bengali poetry. Experienced
lovers of poetry will immediately recognize the significance and nuances of the
work. Those new to Bengali poetry are in for a real treat! I would be
hard-pressed to name another book of contemporary Bengali poetry quite as good
as this one!
