Written as rivers that meander, change course, and swirl with back-eddies, Buku Sarkar's poems navigate the bustling streets of global metropolises while singing of love in all its unruliness, faltering ways, and tenacious hold over memory (\u003ci\u003e\"Remind me that I was once alive, Buku Sarkar says, because of you.\"\u003c\/i\u003e). Blending hurried jottings on paper with haunting photographs—each serving as a reminder that \u003ci\u003e“there's nothing left”\u003c\/i\u003e—this collection acts as a modern invocation of Baudelaire’s \u003ci\u003eLes Fleurs du Mal\u003c\/i\u003e. Yet, its heart lies less in decadence and death than in raw survival and liberation: \u003ci\u003e“Once you've stood in the middle of a park \/ With no clothes on, \/ You can do anything.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcclaimed Collaboration:\u003c\/b\u003e Written by striking poet and artist Buku Sarkar and expertly curated and edited by acclaimed poet Jeet Thayil as Book 2 of the prestigious \u003ci\u003eThayil Editions\u003c\/i\u003e series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMultidisciplinary Artistry:\u003c\/b\u003e Uniquely combines evocative poetry with poignant photography, creating a deeply visual and tactile reading experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGlobal \u0026amp; Intimate Landscapes:\u003c\/b\u003e Explores love, memory, and existential endurance across iconic cityscapes including Paris, New York City, and Calcutta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoetic Lineage:\u003c\/b\u003e Serves as a bold, contemporary reflection on Baudelaire’s classic themes, focused heavily on coming out alive and liberated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Perfect Gift:\u003c\/b\u003e A striking, sophisticated present for poetry lovers, collectors of modern indie publishing, and fans of contemporary literary art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BEETLE BOOK SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52691780927771,"sku":null,"price":424.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/2150\/0699\/files\/71L8ta1UnZL._SL1500.jpg?v=1785305571","url":"https:\/\/beetlebookshop.com\/products\/my-dead-flowers-by-buku","provider":"Beetle Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
