Mamata Banerjee Earthsong
Joy Goswami and Shuvaprasanna
In this anthology of poems, Mamata Banerjee reveals herself to be a true renaissance woman a triple treat of art, poetry, and steel-solid political will. Her artwork harks back to the expressionist movement and her poetry reveals the emotion bubbling behind her stoic political persona. Each line of verse is seeped in her lament over the loss of man's innocence a Wordsworthian woe over man's separation from the true beauty, integrity, and honesty of nature. Each line invokes Didi's' desire to lead her countrymen towards a new dawn, that of humanity, liberty, and equality. A revealing look into the deeply personal ideology that motivates the unique leader's politics.
