Part of 'The Oxford Tagore Translations' series, a prestigious project undertaken by Oxford University Press in collaboration with Visva-Bharati, this volume brings together nearly 150 poems composed by Tagore, many of which have been translated into English for the first time.

The 150 poems in this volume, including many new translations, cover the entire span of Tagore's life and illustrate his work in many significant genres and forms. Within the covers of a single volume, they offer a more representative range than ever before in English of Tagore's output in the field of poetry, which was a primary marker of his identity. The volume also includes a detailed introduction and extensive notes.
