Description

Sekhar Banerjee’s poetry collection Probably Geranium delves deep into life’s beautiful mundaneness and beyond. Spread out into three sections — Heaven’s Furniture, Belladona & Zinc and Lukewarm Silence — the collection seeks to weave, un-weave and re-weave the patterns of time, shifting moods and the recurring emotions that make up the daily-ness of life, and slowly initiates a search for something more, someplace else, something else.

Sensuous, playful, and vulnerable, Sekhar Banerjee’s poems are loving annotations on a life lived in intimate attentiveness.  — Amit Chaudhuri
