L'amour
Auteure: Agnivo Niyogi
Nombre de pages: 30
The author, Agnivo Niyogi, is truly Bengali at heart, and his first book was in his mother language. Although, his initiation into poetry was in the lingua franca. English was his medium of instruction in school, and ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ was the first rhyme he learnt. So, when I put pen to paper, English came naturally to him, to express his emotions. The poems featured in this book are all about love. Written mostly between 2010 and 2011, they might come across as amateurish journal entries of a teenager, high on testosterone. These poems will surely bring back memories, which were lying hidden in the innermost crevices of the reader's mind. Surely, despite the decadal gap between writing and publishing, the universal language of love will resonate with the readers. Encapsulating various moods of love – from having a crush to heartbreak, longing for the healing touch to despair of loneliness, the poems are as natural as the sun, the moon or the stars. This book could be the perfect companion on a lazy Sunday afternoon, when time stands still and emotions engulf the mind. Also, a prized gift for the special someone to express the deepest desires of the heart.
