Shed Tears, My Soul, Shed Tears Jiban Mukhopadhyay

This is a unique collection of twelve poems, written on themes related to the tragic global pandemic-driven great lockdown, which, in turn, caused deep global recession and massive human miseries and death. It is rare to find poems written on such a huge canvas - about human life in distress, the suffering millions, the lovingly motivated health workers alongside the government, the declining economy, and all that. Readers could relive their fatigued experiences of surviving inside closed rooms for long months and contemplate seriously. Jiban introduces readers to a variety of people with their real life experiences. Like the sad but sweet story of Sophie, marrying her dying fiancée in mid-night in the hospital ward! It's the story-of-a-century that Jiban tells through his poems. It is also about hope and aspiration for a new life. Welcome to this unputdownable work of Jiban.
