This year, both issues of our dear Dead Metaphor were delayed due to untimely death in the families, loss of certitude and peace, struggles in our national life, and what not. Apologies are due, and we musk thank our authors and readers for bearing with us. Many of the authors eagerly waited to see their pieces in print, and we are sincerely sorry for the time we have taken to publish the November issue on the last day of 2025.
We have dedicated our next issue in loving memory of Syed Manzoorul Islam, who was our lifelong mentor. Please send your pieces on his life, work and philosophy - in poems, stories, anecdotes, book reviews, translation of his writings, and reviews within 31 March 2026.
We wish you a prosperous and peaceful new year!
