Description
Pentacles is a thought-provoking collection that bridges the gap between everyday life and the mystical. Sabarna Roy's work weaves together a long story and four short poems to create an intellectually stimulating treat for discerning readers.
The book explores themes of love, socio-economic conditions in India, and the human experience, all set against the backdrop of a protagonist haunted by the trauma of being deserted as a child. The traditional rhyme and metre dominated poems offer a glimpse into the poet's inner world, while the free verses evoke the stark reality of urban life.
What sets Pentacles apart is its ability to resonate with readers, making it easy to identify with the poet's experiences and emotions. This collection is not for the faint of heart, but for those who appreciate honest and unflinching portrayals of life.
