“My bleeds and the blood steadily, silently, disturbingly slowly, swallows me whole” — Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Imagine what would have happened if Vincent Van Gogh was not in the mental asylum unbearably in mental pain. Imagine that and suddenly there’s NO “Starry Night” in this world for our eyes and soul to feast upon.
Imagine Roger waters didn’t feel pained looking at his friend Syd Barrett when the latter was down with mental illness. We would have been deprived of the legendary “Wish you were here” from Pink Floyd.
Now imagine, Walt Whitman was not devastated by the news of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. “O Captain! My Captain!” gets obliterated from existence.
Dear reader, do you see it? Pain has always been one of the most promising muses for the creation of exemplary art, regardless of its form. As evident, this collection of poetry is also the one born in pain’s meadow. Let yourself immerse into the journey from birth to death and everything in-between, as the author takes you to a rhapsodic “pain drive”.
In this insane world, aren’t artists the suffers for their sanity? How often than not, we find them alienated from the society for their thoughts and perspective! Here’s a such a pensive poet with his works, and here’s a chance for you to embrace the “porcupine”.

Souranil Biswas
An Engineer by profession, Souranil is a fervid literature enthusiast hailing from Kolkata, West Bengal; currently resident in Pune, Maharashtra. He started reading books at the tender age of 5, and wrote his first poem exactly after a decade for a local magazine. Thoughts and imagination have always provoked his soul — the effulgence of the culmination of which can be found addressed in his poetry.
In this book, he takes you to a journey starting from a birthday poem to a poem about death, presenting a wide array of connotations, psychological transience, emotional vulnerabilities, traumatic bewilderment, unrequited love, abysmal hate, quivering anger, despair, shame, and more. Who knows what’s actually hidden underneath, and who knows, there might be words exquisitely relatable?
The author has won several national level writing contests; many of his works have gained accolades from India and abroad. After a lot of requests from the readers and the peers, he has finally decided to publish the collection of some of his best works!
