The Edge of Listening: Poems of Silence, Longing, and Return | Debashis Dey
The Edge of Listening is a lyrical and meditative poetry collection by Indian poet Debashis Dey, exploring the quiet terrain of silence, longing, memory, grief, and spiritual return. These are poems that don't shout to be heard—they invite you to pause, reflect, and listen deeply.
From the memory of a broken green bangle to the hush of dusk and the voice of a river, Dey’s poems move through the stillness of life’s most intimate moments. Divided into thematic chapters such as What the Wind Remembers, Nocturne of the Forgotten, and Before the Light Returns, the book reads like a quiet pilgrimage through the emotional and spiritual self.
The collection features minimalist ink-style illustrations, most created by the author himself, enhancing the atmosphere of each chapter.
