Final Poems

"It is... a long-awaited and abiding pleasure to have Tagore's FINAL POEMS (Braziller), selected and translated from the Bengali by the poet Wendy Barker and the philosopher Saranindranath Tagore, a descendant of Rabindranath himself. This collection gives English-speaking readers an opportunity to take the measure of Tagore's last act...Their version is so evocative that one can't help wishing they had translated all four volumes in their entirety. Yet what they have provided is sufficient for us to experience the rich complex of feelings -- terror, grief, awe, uncertainty, exhilaration, acceptance, wonder, courage -- with which the most multifaceted of Indian writers confronted his own mortality."Tagore, Rabindranath is the author of 'Final Poems' with ISBN 9780807614884 and ISBN 0807614882.
