There was a time I wasn't sure if I would ever share these poems. Not because they were unfinished, but because they felt too quiet—like whispers only meant for me.

And yet, here I am, preparing to release my first poetry collection, The Edge of Listening, in the first week of July 2025.

Each poem in this collection holds a thread of silence I have lived with: moments too fragile to speak of, memories I carried like shadows, and feelings I could never quite explain aloud. Writing them was not an act of ambition, but of listening—listening to the spaces between things, the tremble of wind through leaves, the voice that echoes long after someone has gone.

I don’t claim to be a poet in any formal sense. I have no technique to boast of, no academy to lean on. Only the weight of stillness and the instinct to shape that stillness into words.

Some of these poems arrived whole, like rain. Others came in fragments, like driftwood. They were never meant to impress, only to express—what could not be held in thought alone.

🕊 About the Book
The Edge of Listening is a collection of poems that move through memory, longing, nature, love, loss, and that unnamed space where emotions go when they can’t be spoken. The book is structured in chapters that echo different tonal shifts—from meditative stillness to aching presence, from sensual discovery to self-reclamation.

🌿 Let’s Connect
If any of these verses speak to something you’ve quietly carried, then I’ll know they’ve done their work.
And for that, I’ll be grateful.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

With silence and gratitude,
Debashis
