Spring Moon by Kaiser Haq, Quamrul Hassan, Rudaba Mohsin
5.0
Spring Moon is a collection of 43 English haiku written by Bangladeshi poet Quamrul Hassan and illustrated by Rudaba Mohsin. The cover was done by Khademul Jahan. The number 43 was chosen by Hassan as it was his batch number at Faujdarhat Cadet College. Quamrul Hassan is a former student of Dhaka University's English department. The book is introduced by the author's teacher Kaiser Haq, also a noted poet, who talks about both Quamrul's lack of seriousness in studies and his passion for poetry.
The beautiful haiku in this collection deal with everyday stories in the lives of the average Bengali. The haiku deal with urban and suburban culture: stories of love, loss, anguish and blissful musings.
The stories come alive with beautiful watercolor illustrations by Rudaba Mohsin.
Quamrul Hassan has done something really special here. He has captured part of the essence of Bengali life in this little collection. Short, and easy to read, these little poems are like a small sentimental tribute to Bangladesh.
A note of gratitude to Tisha apu and Tukunjil Nayeera apu for introducing me to this wonderful book.
