_**About the Author**_
 Tuhin Sanyal’s love-affair with poetry dates back to his
school days. Himself a student of English literature, he takes pleasure in reading
W. B. Yeats, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes and T. S. Eliot. Sheer passion led him to 
take up Yeats as a dissertation topic for his M. Phil course under the University
of Calcutta. He has taught English at St. Xavier’s School, Bokaro, for quite some
time, worked as a freelancer for _The Times of India_, and is presently a post-graduate
English teacher appointed by the West Bengal School Service Commission. His first
collection of poems, _**White, Blue and Other Poems**_ was published by **Writers
Workshop**, India, in 2004.

_Awake, in My Senses_

There will be a day
 For you to stay Awake, in my senses, While I sketch sleep.

There will be a night
 For you to fight Out the wrong tenses That grammarians keep.

There will be a hutment
 With morsels and parchment Of ancient minces When logics
peep.

Then there may be tempests
 And attending he-guests With myopic lenses, To favours
reap! Can I then share Your winding stair, With you in my senses… While I sketch
sleep?
