Publisher's Synopsis
The collection of poems entitled The Midnight Winged Word by Jitendra Das translated into English by Prof. Sarat Chandra Sahoo is the first-ever publication since the poet switched over from singing in the shower to penning down in paper. He is at his best with his poetics in A Eulogy in the Memory of Aylan Kurdi, To the Memory of the Mahatma, and May Your Maker Answer Your Prayers! which reveals his empathy for other people's predicament irrespective of nationalities. His love poems read like as if a reader is listening to mood music, while trying to relieve the tedium of workaday life.
