Silhouette and Other Poems  (English, Paperback, Tasnima Yasmin)

Mark Twain once observed, “The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.” The pause is an indefinable moment of perpetual chaos and booming silence. The post -modern world is filled with signatory images of fragmentation, disintegration and hollowness. Replete with wars, the world is in a constant flux between destruction and development. When we stand back and sit to observe happenings around then it is with a pause that we can reflect on this ever- changing world. Silhouette and Other Poems is an effort to address this pause. An odd collection of 26 poems, it seeks to reiterate the notion that one can come to find eternity in a moment and a moment can turn out to seem eternal with the conscious attainment of internal peace and higher knowledge.
