The Edge of Listening

Poems of Silence, Longing, and Return

A quiet meditation in verse-now brought to life with evocative illustrations.

The Edge of Listening is a lyrical and introspective poetry collection by Debashis Dey that explores themes of silence, longing, memory, and healing. With meditative verse rooted in nature, sensuality, and the quiet ache of absence, these poems speak to the still places we often carry within us.

Structured in themed sections, the collection traces a reflective path-from the murmurs of wind and water to the echoes of love, loss, and return. Each poem invites the reader into a space of attentiveness, where the unspoken finds shape and the passing moment holds meaning.

Accompanied by delicately rendered illustrations, this edition offers a richly immersive experience-bridging the visual and the verbal to deepen the resonance of each poem. The artwork enhances the contemplative journey, making this book as visually engaging as it is emotionally profound.

Written in a voice that is both spiritual and intimate, The Edge of Listening captures the fragile beauty of what lingers when the world falls silent. It is a companion for those seeking presence over noise, memory over spectacle, and truth in the stillness between things.

Perfect for readers of contemporary, spiritual, and nature poetry, this illustrated edition offers a quiet resonance for those walking through grief, rediscovery, and the soft return to self.
