‘Forgive Me Dear Papa,’ the debut collection of poems by Shyamasri Maji, excavates an intimate way to focus on gender inequality, to look hard at the deliberate silence of society, to use memory as a powerful tool to fix her unwavering gaze at the uncertainties of life. Her sharp, incisive, and powerful poems connect her readers in a direct manner. One cannot relax within these poems or rather, one can relax so long as one happy to be challenged.
