In this new book of poetry, Subodh Sarkar has not become a slave to any ideology, he stands for poetry that is as perfect as tears, as beautiful as tears, one after another, moving towards the stars. As his love poems warm the skin, so too does the mind bathe in beauty. Subodh Sarkar, like a wounded transvestite in jeans, is looking towards that liberation, on the highest step of which a ball of light has fallen. That is poetry. These new poems are trying to go towards that light. A handful of buckwheat in one pocket of his jeans, and a bomb in the other pocket. There is no grammar for human tears, but he has poetry. Subodh Sarkar is bringing that poetry.
