Could You Please, Please Stop Singing? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781771611718)

Sabyasachi (Sachi) Nag's first collection of poems, Bloodlines, was published in 2006. He lives in Mississauga with his wife and son. Nag immigrated to Canada from Calcutta, where he was born, and many of the poems in this collection are about this city. The city's voices offer a wide cast of characters, ranging from the cotton fluffer, the graffitist, the house help, the processionist, the busker and the bomb maker. These voices all earnestly seek to explain and answer, discovering what they feared was lost. In that respect, Nag's poems are about voyaging into emptiness and returning with a piece of cloud mistook for cotton candy.
