How Not To Remember

Más información sobre el libro

What touches Mallika Bhaumik’s poetry is the personal touch to a variety of topics in a fractured and dissolving world. There is the blending of objectivity and subjectivity, an amalgamation of psychic time with history-personal and otherwise. Time as a layered entity with both past and present freezes and sometimes disappears to become a solid ground for the mind to traverse. Inanimate things like stones get expanded into a poetic landscape. The poems are a dance towards and away from poetic limitation, sometimes they falter and at other times the sensual, metaphysical are fused in this movement. -- Sharmila Ray (Poet)
