Book Review by Spriha Kant
“Silence from the Shadows” is a collection of beautiful short poetries
fastened with easy words.
The poet beautifully portrays how a person’s poetry dances to the feelings of the deep love that he/she has for his/her beloved as can be felt in two of his poetries, ‘Poetry Book’ and ‘Let Poetry Resonate’. The poet also encourages the youngsters for weaving their feelings into poetries by stating the greatness of poetries in the last stanza of the poem “Embrace The Power Of Words”:
“Death by poetry
Yet life through words”
In some poetries, the poet beautifully described the different phases including sunrise, sunset, night, and evening as well as their transition to their succeeding phase using metaphors and personification of the celestial bodies that can be read in a few words quoted from his poetry, “Setting Sun” below:
“The setting sun
Accepts her time is done”
The poet also shines a light on the melancholic phase, despairs, fears, numbness, and helplessness in some of his poems that can be read in a few stanzas and a few words quoted from the poetries below:
A few stanzas from the poetry, “Lost in Fear”:
“As children of the nightmare
We have nowhere to run
Trapped within the shadows
Of someone else's sun”
“The chains that shackled
And the broken delights
Reside now as a memory
Within the darkest
Of the coldest
Of nights”
A few words quoted from the poetry, “We Stand Frozen”:
“Cold is the hour
We stand frozen in awe”
This book says a lot in depth with just a few easy words, making it easier to understand even by unpoetic minds.
