Well, I would like to thank the author first for sending me a review copy of this beautiful book. Her poems are heart touching.
generally, I read Nonfiction book (autobiography, self-help) but it was good to take a break and switch a little to fiction or poetry to make my mind calm. this book exactly did that. These two-verse actually made me smile and cry at the same time. These three verses are my favorite of all.
He pulled out a ring,
"Will you be the Monica,
To this Chandler Bing?"
She sobbed with a yes,
"So, didn’t I propose with finesse"
They laughed and hugged,
Conversed whole night,
Until their faces,
Shone with broad daylight.
AND
I looked in the mirror,
Again at that same reflection,
This time with a little more affection,
And I saw that I was perfect with my imperfections.
AND
Society denies them right,
And uplifts the already uplifted,
While the poor struggle to educate,
Their forehead furrows are never lifted.
Being bias over status exists,
And the rich remain privileged and gifted.
Won't you look for a fair-skinned partner?
Yet you protest- 'black lives matter',
Bullying people for color,
The idea of apartheid survives in scatters,
Racism still exists in the hood,
Fairness creams are exemplary to this flatter.
Favorite letters-
A letter to the society who rejected me
a letter to the one trying to let go
A letter to my teen self
My review, You will enjoy this amazing book and relate to it. It is a collection of poems as well as open letters to various people (second mother, society, second love) The poem is well written in not so complicated language so it is beginner-friendly too.
