Shadows of Broken Things

In Shadows of Broken Things, Bidyut Kumar Sarkar peers unflinchingly into the abyss of modern existence—where memory and mortality fuse and fade. His poems traverse the ruins of civilization and the depths of the human psyche, searching for light amid entropy. Inside this book, you’ll find 🌒 Poems that confront the fragility of modern life, where civilization frays and human memory struggles to endure. 🧠 Reflections on mortality and consciousness, written with meditative clarity and emotional depth. 🌍 Evocative explorations of war, environmental decay, and collective loss, seen through the eyes of a thinker shaped by science. 💔 Lyrical meditations on love and longing, where tenderness coexists with devastation. ⚛ A fusion of metaphysics, philosophy, and quantum imagery, offering readers a unique poetic perspective. 🎭Language that oscillates between lament and laudation, capturing the tensions of a world in flux. 🔍Poetry that invites introspection, encouraging readers to examine their own journeys through darkness and light. From Nuclear Precision to Poetic Vision A retired nuclear engineer, Sarkar writes with the precision of a scientist and the anguish of a philosopher. From meditations on war, death, and environmental decay to reflections on love, loss, and the fragile grace of being, his voice oscillates between lament and laudation. Where Worlds Converge Drawing on landscapes and experiences gathered across India, Bhutan, and Nepal, Sarkar brings to his writing a keen awareness of the worlds—inner and outer—we inhabit. His poems rise from the narrow spaces where creativity meets consciousness, where science brushes against the ineffable, and where the human heart searches for meaning in the face of annihilation. Awakenings in the Aftermath Each poem in this collection is both elegy and awakening, reminding us that beauty survives even in despair. Shadows of Broken Things invites readers to confront the questions we often evade: What endures after annihilation? What remains when the light withdraws? For Seekers of Meaning This collection is for lovers of thoughtful, resonant poetry—readers who seek not escape but understanding; not answers but illumination.
