Rhymes of Whimsy – Abol Tabol Dual-Language Edition
Sukumar Ray
Translated from Bengali by Niladri Roy
Rhymes of Whimsy – Abol Tabol Dual-Language Edition, by Sukumar Ray, is a Bengali poetry collection from India, translated by Niladri Roy, published by Haton Cross Press in 2017. It is a dual-language edition of Sukumar Ray's beloved nonsense verse, where whimsy becomes a serious technology of sound, mischief, and childhood intelligence. There is enough factual grounding here to place the book, but the real test is readerly. Does the poem leave an image behind; does it change the room; does it ask the tongue to behave differently for a moment? This collection earns its place because it keeps that possibility open.
