In Catching Rainbows at Night, Subhransu Behera intertwines Indian folklore, myth, and modern life - weaving reflective stories of love, loss, and the search for meaning through vivid imagination and layered metaphor. With subtle nods to technology, these insightful poems explore the contrasts and parallels between the mundane and the magical, inviting readers to glimpse how these worlds merge, collide, and shape our understanding of the everyday.
