Erode

Author: Biswamit Dwibedy

Publisher: Litmus Press (2025)

Erode is Biswamit Dwibedy’s fourth full-length collection of poetry and brings together his first out-of-print book, Ozalid, and the expansion and continuation of that work into Erode. As a single collection, these sequences unfold in movements of erasure and collage. What emerges is a poetics of accumulation and subtraction, a method of excavation that reveals the personal buried within the communal, the lyric submerged in the residual. If erasure is a form of attention, then Erode listens acutely—to language, to silence, to the faint signal of the other. With a sensibility both spare and lush, Erode traces the shifting terrain of meaning, where fragments flare into wholeness and then dissolve again.
