Soma Bose’s The Garden of White Roses is an elegiac homage to her deceased mother that is sensitively scripted through eighteen poetic letters. Each of these letters fuse vivid empirical reconfigurations filtered through the channels of memory plasticity and emotional responses. The central pivot of the poet’s life, her loving parents, who she misses with such touching intensity, deconstruct the timeless adage that out of sight is out of mind.
Instead, Soma Bose’s memoir poems prove that the mind’s album stores impressions of people, places, material culture and specifically loved ones, with inexplicable graphicness that defies definition. The eighteen letter-poems in this remarkable volume, creates an epistolary diary that breaks free from the normative langour of nostalgia and sentimentality. This impression is effectively achieved through the poet’s skilled use of a process of dramatic immediacy and simultaneous immersiveness in the indelible timeless moments that bind the poet to her parents, who will live within her, forever.
