Postcards from Bangladesh is an unique and personal account of Bangladesh as seen through the eyes of three creative professionals Sudeep Sen Tanvir and Kelley Lynch from three different countries. The book revolves around the idea and metaphor of a postcard snapshots snippets of life in one place that capture a moment in time reflecting something larger about the culture as a whole. It is not meant to be encyclopaedic or all inclusive. Rather it portrays what Bangladesh means to them from an alternate focal point things off the beaten track aspects left out of final frames unused notes scribbed in the margins all forming the glue that binds the book together. Postcards from Bangladesh traces journeys both interior and exterior using prose poetry and photography to create a poetic documentary a film in freeze frames.
