Grass in Green: Collected Poems

By Tasneem Hossain

"Whatever Tasneem Hossain depicts becomes vital to exploring meaning of life in our otherwise occupied consciousness. And her diction makes the subjects, be it myriad facets of nature, or our tears, smiles and sighs, come so alive that her poetry, in effect, verges on a visual art. Her poems inspire emotions and are crafted in soulful words. Both stir the hearts of many to pause, think and feel a renewed urge for life. A stellar example of how simple words can craft profound feelings into a beautiful piece of poetry."
- Reja Syed Ali, Literary Critic, Bangladesh

"Tasneem Hossain I'm waiting for your next book to hit the shelves. In a time when there's so much anger and hurt in the world, reading your poems has a calming effect. A beautiful change. Thank you for that."
- Ian Ross, Accountant, Canada

"As a poet, Tasneem Hossain bears a pensive elegance of understanding the personal, emotional and social worlds where we live in. And thus, her poems captivate any sentient reader because of the thoughtful, lyrical attire they wear. Her poetic persona, admittedly, helps us to discover the equally poetic reader residing within ourselves. Her poems are a lyrical journey of sensitivity and contemplation."
- Faheem H. Shahed, PhD, Academic & Writer, Bangladesh

"Tasneem Hossain's collections of poems invite contemplation, appreciation and understanding about the exquisiteness of nature, create awareness about society, portray human emotions and highlight human responsibilities. The rhythm and choice of words combine brilliant imagery. Each word counts with linguistic turns, skillful line breaks and use of alliteration and metaphors. Her poems are deep and beautiful. The Pearl Necklace is a must read over and over again."
- Farhana Haque Rahman, Executive Director, IPS Inter Press Service, Canada
