Winter poems
SABARNA ROY
ABOUT THE BOOK
The poems contained in
this collection, Winter Poems, by Sabarna Roy were inspired by the relatively
mild season that prevails in Kolkata following the season of festivities, the
Durga and Kali Puja, and portray myriad shades of human life. Some of them deal
with the imaginations of death and home while still others the idea of loss and
coming to terms with gradual wasting of life. Many aspects of human life and
commonplace human impulses are examined and brought to life through a range of
imaginations and varied metaphorical associations. The poems are sure to
delight the readers and generate a whole range of emotions among them.

REVIEW
This book is a collection
of 26 poems which are written on different topics.
Topics such as life, relationship, death, etc.
Although there is no proper use of rhyme in the book but still the reader is able
to connect to the poems and each and every word of the poem almost immediately.
Also, the cover of this book is really beautiful and makes the reader look at
it for more than a second.
I wouldn’t suggest Winter poems to the readers who are new to the genre of
poetry because it can be a tad bit difficult for them to get the true idea of
the poems written by the Author.
Every poem is unique in its own way, so you, the reader of this book needs to
decide what would be the true meaning of the poem would be for you.
