aaaahhh this is the only contemporary poetry book I like. I never really relate to any modern poetry book these days, so this is really special.

Poetry has not been my cup of tea and this book was my introduction. Here's few things that I noted. The poems were generally focussed towards the poetess's emotional struggles which were discrebed throughout the book. The problem is that some poems were generally not very distunguishable and feel a bit repeated.
The themes across the book are very scattered continuity is often abruptly broken.
But in positive side i really enjoyed few poems that had really strong messages where poetess actually gets vulnerable and tells how she wants to stand in world. Few pieces where she mentions about how this foreign language hinders her from properly expressing her which would be better in her mother toungue. I really enjoyed those parts.
Really enjoyed reading cultural and linguistic notes also. I felt those should have been discussed a bit more.
Overall it was fine. Again not really into poetry but it was a bittersweet experience

This was a lovely read. Noor is a poetess with the heart and ability to shake your foundation. Her book is filled with beautiful imagery found in both her words and her sketches. I had a wonderful bit of moments reading through this one and would be delighted to read her again.
