Amita Ray is an academic and she is also an accomplished short story writer, translator and critic. Besides that, she has been writing poetry for quite some time and publishing in journals and magazine at regular intervals. Now, she turns her attention to publish her first book of poems. Her debut collection of poems apparently showcases an array of voices which culminate into a single one at the end. The poet is as if on a journey through endless scenes of the human elements arrested and restored in verses. There are sixty-two poems in all in this volume. In this captivating collection of poems, Amita Ray offers insight into the details of everyday situations, love and grief, family and nostalgia, disparities against women, emotions and the nuances of life in this complex world.But what is all the more remarkable is her passion, the effortless ease of the writing, the precise words that seem to create the real world. English as language has been already fused and synthesised in Indian Context over the passage of time from colonial to post-colonial period. The poet finds her vein of expression by attending to the minute details of daily life and offers new space that goes beyond the existing while providing a rich fare for readers which are indeed a rare treat. Her choice of words is not only shaped by the language but also the tradition of culture and ethos. ...Gopal Lahiri
