Voice of the Soul by Shreyans Kanswa - Book Review

Book Name : Voice of the Soul

Poet: Shreyans Kanswa

Blurb:

How does it feel to lie just by yourself and delve into the silence. The silence that is a path to deeper self, a self that is unexplored. That same unexplored self can also be regarded as the soul. 

While the time ticks on the clock, a bond with your soul is timeless. Such metaphors are rendered powerless when a conversation is created with oneself. 

These poems mean more than just words, they scream soulfulness. It is rather weird that we go looking for answers outside when all that we have to do is seek deeper within ourselves. The poems are experiences that the poet shares with the world, and these experiences are nothing fancy- they are all moments that the poet experiences with himself. They are questions risen from inquisitiveness and introspection.

Review:

Voice of the Soul is a beautiful poetry collection by an upcoming poet, Shreyans. The title of this collection gives away a good and peaceful aura. I found it to be really soothing. I could relate it to myself letting my guard down and speaking my heart. The title itself is really nice.

This collection consists of 61 poems each being unique in its own self. Having read this poetry collection in less than 2 hours, I found few of them very captivating and beautiful while a few of them lacked something. Some poems were quite mature while some of them failed to create that impact. My favorite ones from this collection are - time changes people, every time it rains, finidng the blue, when words fall short, 5 years old, the revelation, sempiternal, the song of life, defeated, empty bowl, sand and stones, and crying soul. These poems are simply amazing.

I would rate this poetry collection with 3.5/5 stars. It's an amazing, one-time read.
