Shesh Lekha: The Last Poems of Rabindranath Tagore

This collection is not only the last testament of Tagore but is significant in many other ways. Most of the untitled poems in this book were literally written on his death bed. Word-wizardy was always one of Tagore’s strongest appeals. But in Sesh Lekha it touches a point of mystifingly subtle communocation. The language is bare, the imagery striking and the expression spartan.
