ALT "I carefully selected poems not as a “best of” compilation but as one that reflects these qualities of Sengupta as a poet evolving with and within our times. In one critical essay, I suggested Sengupta is a democratic voice who embraces the right to challenge consensus. Over the nearly decade I have known Kiriti Sengupta as a poet, I have served as editor, critic, and sounding board for his poetry. His poetry is contemporary, metamodern, and flows with the river of time," notes Dustin Pickering as he prepares to release my Selected Poems from Transcendent Zero Press in August 2025. On this auspicious day of Guru Purnima, we reveal the cover designed by Bitan Chakraborty.
