Opportunists Steal Your Thunder
CHARAL
Translated from Bengali by Sipra Mukherjee
Opportunists Steal Your Thunder, by CHARAL, is a Bengali poetry collection from India, translated by Sipra Mukherjee, published by Tilted Axis Press in 2023. It is a contemporary Bengali collection whose title has the snap of accusation, public speech, and stolen weather. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation, but the chance to let one poet's particular difficulty create its own weather.
