Description of the Book:
This anthology welcomes readers to a cityscape on the precipice of demolition, where echoes of memory, conflict, love, and hope meet in resounding poetry. Each poem reveals a rich history of resilience, inviting us, gently, to recognize the invincible spirit that lives on even after each demolished structure. Compiled by a research scholar at St. Xavier's College (Autonomous) at Kolkata, these pages blend the scholar's rigor with the poet's imagination, capturing human capability to rebuild after devastation. By traversing perspectives—poet, vendor, artist, refugee—this work transcends space and time, reminding us that, even amid destruction, a city's life and its narratives persist.
