From Calcutta to Kolkata: A City of Dreams Poems
₹400.00
From Calcutta to Kolkata: A City of Dreams showcases Mitali Chakravarty’s impressive growth as a poet. In this concise third volume, she expresses her deep feelings for a city she has never called home. It is a must-read for all poetry enthusiasts wanting to grasp the essence of the city, its inhabitants, and their experiences. — Kiriti Sengupta
Rarely has a city been the subject of an entire collection of poems like this one. Mitali Chakravarty draws upon history and legend, music and poetry, art and architecture, oral traditions and folklore, rituals and cuisines to present the rich mosaic of multiple cultures encapsulated in the proverbial City of Joy that is Calcutta. But it isn’t only joy that overwhelms Mitali. Her analytical eye sees warring ideologies and sensibilities. She senses divides, biases, pain and despair also woven in the warp and woof of an amazing landscape that is old and new, traditional and modern, bigoted and liberal, yet constantly beautiful. Constantly evolving. — Aruna Chakravarti
