The Edge of Listening
A Quiet Journey Through Words and Memory
Poems of Silence, Longing, and Return
by Debashis Dey
The Edge of Listening is a lyrical and meditative poetry collection by Indian poet Debashis Dey, offering readers a journey through the quiet terrain of silence, longing, memory, grief, and spiritual return. These are not poems that demand attention—they invite you to pause, reflect, and truly listen.
From the memory of a broken green bangle to the hush of dusk and the whisper of a river, each poem gently unfolds in stillness. The book is thoughtfully structured into thematic chapters—What the Wind Remembers, Nocturne of the Forgotten, and Before the Light Returns—guiding the reader on an emotional and spiritual pilgrimage.
Beautifully complemented by minimalist ink-style illustrations, most drawn by the author himself, this collection captures the quiet beauty of life’s most intimate moments.
Whether you read it in solitude or aloud, The Edge of Listening offers a space to reconnect—with yourself, with memory, and with the deeper rhythms of being.
