Hari Alluri's poetry is the type of poetry that, once you've heard him perform/read poetry/speak, you can't read it without hearing it in his voice. This book is alive. It breathes, it sings, it whispers, and it weeps. This poetry gives us a piece of the brilliant, funky, colourful, and honestly indescribable spirit of Hari. It is such a joy, such an honor, to read a book like this.

The concept of this book isn’t my jam, but I stayed for the beautiful moments, insights, and lines.

I read this one out loud to myself and enjoyed the flow and cadence of the work. I find myself between beauty and the thoughtful mundane in this work. After I read this book, reading another fiction title after felt slow compared to Alluri's seamless poetry.
