Description

At its very essence Desirous Water is a description of the relationship between the male and female sides of a being, or psyche, as told primarily from the male side. It has elements of love, passion, urge, erotica, and appeal, and fire. There is also an underlying spiritual undercurrent throughout the work, which ties it all together and puts it all in context. The poems stand very well on their own, but to grasp their full meanings you really have to appreciate how they all relate to and reinforce each other. And it doesn’t hurt to read them several times. A note on the translation: Here Dr. Sengupta provides a translation which will be easily appreciated by all readers, regardless of their personal cultural background or faith system. It should still be understood,of course, that this was originally a Bengali work, with all the elements associated with that. But Kiriti translates the work in such a way that, while those elements are still present, they don’t hinder the understanding or enjoyment of the reader in any way. It is a rare talent to be able to balance all those various aspects so finely in translated poetry! So sit back, relax, and enjoy your own Desirous Water!
