Songs of the Night World, a collection of 55 poems, is a bold critique
of late capitalism and the degeneration of liberal values in the wake of
sectarian politics and bigotry across the globe. Love is the only hope
that can save civilization from the inevitable decline and fall in a
hellish world.
Bhattacharyya's epigrammatic use of words, an ironic undercurrent of
conflict and tension, along with a free-flowing yet unsentimental
lyricism, makes the collection one of the most awaited books of 2022.
