It's not you - it's me. Let this review not discourage you.
I'm kicking myself giving this such a low rating, although slightly above average, I feel sad that I can't rate it higher. I just don't like, or possibly understand, "Insta-type-poetry".
Rupi Kaur is very successful with her poems, and for her fans I genuinely recommend Sulochana's translated poetry.
They are beautiful, and tranquil, and calming. I love that there is the English translation and then Nepali originals mirrored.
Personally, though, I found little that I liked. Some images were very interesting, but overall something was missing. To me,ppoems like this feel flat, basic, reduced.
If you pick this up make sure to read authors and translators notes at the beginning. They give much needed context to Sulichana, and her collection of poems.
