The Charcoal In The Dust
The writer provokes thought envisioned in the inspiring of inner meaning, presented through a spiritual perspective. There is also a quality of sobriety in the somber realization of the ongoing battle between emotion within man from the depths of sorrow to a sense of elation. - The Charcoal in The Dust by Nadia Aftab

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF THE CHARCOAL***
This book of poems will take you on a solemn journey. The
words gave me a plethora of feelings, including despair, depression, and even
foreboding. The ones on love though, did give a different, uplifting feel,
almost secretive.
The poems didn't seem to be categorized, which had my mood swinging
back and forth. I think it would help to swap them around, so that sorrow is
with sorrow and happiness with happiness. This would give the book a better
flow. Out of all of the poems, my favorite was the one specifically for the
author’s father. I could really relate to it.

I haven't read too many poetry anthologies but I really want to start doing that soon because well, I write a lot of it! And I think poetry is terribly underrated nowadays. A poem a day keeps the brain alive ;)
ReplyDeletePoetry puts you in a different state of mind. I love to read good poetry.
