The Roadtrip Of Life by A.Ikram

inspiring reflective slow-paced

4.5

 The Roadtrip of Life feels like having coffee with a friend.

This collection of poetry and thoughts takes the reader on a journey of self-reflection and encourages us to heal from past experiences and keep moving forward. The author is passionate about guiding their reader to find their true self and be happy with who they are.

The formatting of this collection is unique, as each chapter opens with a short poem, includes an expansive bit of prose to accompany the poem, and then closes with a question and a heartfelt letter to the reader. I really enjoyed this setup, as it felt incredibly different than other poetry collections, however, it did feel repetitive at times because the prose seemed to re-word exactly what the poem said. But I definitely enjoyed the poetry and look forward to watching A. Ikram grow as a poet in the future.
