Subtle Echoes by Tehmeena Salam

5.0

Subtle Echoes is a compilation of poems and open letters by the author. What grabbed my attention was the title, cover and the illustrations. when I started reading, the first letter was to the readers, which gave me a warm feeling and then I couldn’t stop myself from reading further.

Each poem has various emotions, care, heart-break, love, relation and many more. they all are based on happenings of our daily life and have a very deep story in them. The best thing is, every poem is very easy to understand, you don’t have to interpret anything. My favourite poems were imperfectly perfect, an over-thinker ( completely relatable), memory redefined, plastic love, rape, solitude and a few more.

Talking about the letters, I found them very unique. They were straight from the heart and somewhat relatable. I liked the way the author has written them. My favourite letters were a letter to readers, to one trying to let go, to my beloved parents and one looking for answers. In short, all letters were my favourite.

A must-read from my side!
