"Time has not the power to extinguish me,

Don't think for a moment that I wait upon Time."

- Nabaneeta Dev Sen

Nabaneeta Dev Sen (January 13 1938 - November 7, 2019) was one of the most beloved, versatile and prolific writers in Bengali literature. Equally expressive in poetry and prose, fiction and non-fiction, Nabaneeta still has over 100 books in print across the world (including translations), in a canon spanning more than 60 years. In this special memorial tribute, her daughter Nandana Sen will read from her translations of her mother's poetry, as well as some of Nabaneeta's original prose in English. Nandana will share her own memories, as a daughter and a collaborator, in this intimate as well as interactive celebration of Nabaneeta Dev Sen's achievements and influence.
