Nabaneeta Dev Sen's rhythmic lines explore the joys and agonies of first love, childbirth, and decay with a restless, tactile imagination, both picking apart and celebrating the rituals that make us human. When she warns, \"know that blood can be easily drawn by lips,\" her words tune to the fierce and biting depths of language, to the \"treachery that lingers on tongue tips.\" At once compassionate and unsparing, conversational and symphonic, these poems tell of a rope shivering beneath an acrobat's nimble feet or of a twisted, blood-soaked umbilical cord -- they pluck the invisible threads that bind us together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNabaneeta Dev Sen\u003c\/b\u003e was a renowned Bengali writer who published her first book of poems at  the age of 18, and grew to be immensely popular through her fiction,  literary criticism, travelogues, plays, political humour columns, and  children's literature.
