In a post-truth and fake news-saturated world where narratives compete for a place in the minds of people, Dreams of a Psychopath is a plea for a saner world. It is a plea directed at those whose conscience is in deep slumber or those who have turned their backs on the world as long as their lives are safe and secure. The poet takes on the role of an agent provocateur who wants to scream loudly into the ears of those who have shut themselves to the injustices of the world. And in his mission he is both a dreamer and a psychopath who wants to right the wrongs of the past and rewrite history not from the victor’s point of view but with the blood and sweat of the vanquished.
Introducing Saumitra’s poetry to an English relishing readership is like reliving its flavor a few years ago in Hindi when these very poems caught the print eye of an eminent publisher, Bharatiya Gyanpith. Saumitra’s selection was not only published from there but also awarded the ‘Yuva Puruskar’ and these poems have been expertly translated by Dhiraj Singh who gives a Midas touch of his pen when moving from one language to another. Saumitra is, by profession an engineer and by passion, a poet. He has moved away from India, but his sensibility is filled with boyhood memories and tender moments of his youth. With an economy of words, he expresses himself in short verses that look like...

Surg detects a second hernia and Techpro's world falls apart. Wife, thus far unable to rein in Techie fully, takes charge and yes, she enjoys the upper hand the double hernia gives her in Techie's affairs.

This book explores the humanities as an insightful platform for understanding and responding to the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, other manifestations of “Guantánamo,” and the contested place of freedom in American Empire. It presents the work of scholars and writers based in Cuba’s Guantánamo Province and various parts of the US. Its essays, short stories, poetry, and other texts engage the far-reaching meaning and significance of Gitmo by bringing together what happens on the U.S. side of the fence—or “la cerca,” as it is called in Cuba—with perspectives from the outside world. Chapters include critiques of artistic renderings of the Guantánamo region; historical narratives contemplating the significance of freedom; analyses of the ways the base and region inform the Cuban imaginary; and fiction and poetry published for the first time in English. Not simply a critique of imperialism, this volume presents politically engaged commentary that suggests a way forward for a site of global contact and conflict.
