How do you review a poem or a book of poems? I have no idea.
I don't read enough poetry to feel like I could give a decent review, so take my star rating with a grain of salt.
I liked many of the poems in this collection. The standouts to me were "Kal" "Partition, 1945: my grandfather steps off a train in Jammu & Kashmir" "How we left: Film Treatment" and "Other Body"
