KOLKATA: Rhiju Basak had promised to present his parents with the first copy of his book of poems. Rhiju's dream of having his works published will be fulfilled on September 12, his birthday, but his parents will never get his signature on it. The 17-year-old's lifeless body was found floating at Rabindra Sarovar on February 10 this year.
"A bunch of lies" is how the young poet described his writings, arguing that writers rarely reflected the reality in their works, recall his parents. So, that is what the collection of 158 poems written by the La Martiniere for Boys (LMB) student has been titled. It will be launched on Wednesday at Oxford Book Store by Sunil Gangopadhyay. The foreword has been written by none other than Amitav Ghosh.
