“Sometimes, timing can be wrong, but if you stay wrong, the right time will come”
Lately I´ve been into poetry, mainly because of my lack of time. So I picked this up mainly because the author used to be a doctor and because it had to do with love.
I really enjoyed this book many of the sections resonated with me. Specially because he used to be a doctor and some of the things he said about the work felt close to my heart. The writing means what you need it to mean in the moment and circumstances you need them to be. And I feel I needed to read this at the time I did. I wasn’t the best poetry collection I have ever read, but it made me feel complete, it made me feel hopeful. The black and white drawing were beautiful and they really helped portray the authors message.
My only critique would be that I had a hard time trying to understand everything he was trying to portray and I though in some parts he put more attention to the way the poem looked rather than the way it was written. But other than that I really liked it and I will be looking for new things this author writes.
“An unrealized dream is what makes us act like monsters”

Deeply moving, profound, and heartbreakingly sharp at times. About love, loss, grief, and survival.

*I received a copy of Akif Kichloo’s Falling Through Love for review purposes. As always, this review reflects only my honest thoughts on the book.*
Reading Falling Through Love felt like what I imagine Alice felt like falling into Wonderland. It’s beautiful—almost overwhelmingly so. It evokes a remarkable variety and amount of emotions, and ultimately causes you to look inward towards yourself.

2.5 stars.
"How do you build home sour of defeat?" asks my intrepid heart.
"You don't," I throw my answer back. "You live out on the streets, with other lonely folks, or you spit spiderwebs and reside in them hoping for someone to walk through and get caught up in your gateless home."
I didn't enjoy this much to be honest. I could feel the sorrow and loss of the author's in some of the poems but I didn't like the writing style very much. I enjoyed around 20 poems while not so much for the rest. Some of them were repetitive and some were kinda messy. There were a few that I found to be vulgar and uncomfortable.
Thank you Netgalley for providing me with the digital copy for an honest review.
