Book: Convalesce

Author: Enne Zale

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4/5

Convalesce written by the author Enne Zale is a poetry book. In this book, we find both bitter and sweet moments mixed with each other as they are in life. These poems are not associated with any headings. Enne has penned them freely. She has expressed the emotions to which most of us could relate to.

I could very well relate to below lines:

Missing you is kind of unbearable
So I close my eyes and revisit every moment
Spent with you
My heart races
I can’t tell if it’s fear, pain or bliss
I take this pen and scribble out the faces
Of every person who plays a part in my story

Some poems have illustrations with them. Those images help the readers to relate with the poems more. Author being an artist, has designed the cover of the book very well.

I really liked these lines from the book:
Replies are suffocating.
But so is the silence.

This book is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. There is pain, love, broken hearts, nostalgia, etc. Writing style of the author is nice. This book will inspire the readers to revisit their demons and become resilient. It motivates us to acknowledge the truth. That way, we would have peace. Those who love to read poetry will enjoy this collection by Enne. A worth reading poetry book that one could enjoy reading by sitting on their front porch with a hot cup of coffee.
