Tagore: Final Poems by Rabindranath Tagore The brilliant and immensely prolific Indian writer Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) is known the world over for his accomplished works in an astoundingly wide range of genres: fiction, short stories, poetry, drama, and essays. During the final year of his life, while suffering from the painful illness that would eventually end his life, Tagore completed four volumes of poetry that expressed the emotional turmoil of facing one's own imminent death while also conveying the intense joy of living. Appearing here for the first time in English is a selection of these extraordinary poems that captures as closely as possible the beauty and subtlety of Tagore's original Bengali verses.
