For the Hope of Spring
The collection, titled For the Hope of Spring: hybrid poems, published by Hawakal Publishers, Kolkata, India, is Shamayita Sen's first collection of poems.

The collection speaks of daily life, longings and idle musings on human existence, the lives we come across everyday, their personal sorrows and political sufferings. Some poems are inspired by real life experiences and Shamayita says she shall be ever appreciative of her friends and colleague...
Collegiality and Other Ballads
We believe feminism is a way of life and requires instillation in a nation's cultural memory. Men's involvement in feminist politics builds a web of solidarity for empathetic futures. This collection, very much in tune with the third and fourth waves of feminism, puts the onus onto those who are historically and structurally in socially privileged positions of power: men, white or upper caste. Instead of usurping the emotional labor of survivors, these reflective pieces quantify social uplift basis male action and intention. The anthology also discusses issues that concern Dalit, Indigenous and Queer poets, issues that patriarchal society and elected governments invisibilize as non-existent.
