Rating: 5/5

• 

“Obscure Narrative: A Poetry Collection” written by the author Heider Broisler is an amazing poetry book to read. This book is a collection of different poems. Many of the topics on which these poems are based are relatable. Some of my favorite poems from the collection are: Real Feelings, Fragments of Life, Time Machine, Smiling, The Light Goes Out, etc.

All that remains is to flirt with an existence illusion
that remits us to the denial
of feasible dreams, satisfying us with perfect slavery.
Wasting time – no time to relax to the drops’ sounds
that slide down the window…Smiles…
oh! ‘I wish they were true.’

These poems are based on different events of life. Some explore life whereas poems like ‘The Funeral’ are about death. Writing used in the book is poetic and avid poetry readers could understand it easily. Cover photo is so artistic and the title is suitable. Length of each poem is approx 1-3 pages. Writing style of the author is nice. I loved this book. It’s thought provoking and at times sensitive too.

I like to strongly recommend this beautiful poetry collection to poetry lovers.

Story started in October 1994 when Leonardo landed a job at an East Village bar named Bar Plato. The owner of the bar was actor Jack Fresh. Leonardo has recently moved to New York and his friend Julia helped him to get the job at a bar.

Before landing this job, Leonardo was fired from a cater-waiter job and he couldn’t even go back to substitute teaching because of his bad experience at it. Leonardo was tense about whether Jack’s wife Mara will hire him after the interview. Mara saw that Leonardo is weak and boring. She told him that she will fix him and his job is confirmed. Rico, Leonard’s boss on the other hand warned him that Mara is not as nice as he is thinking. However, his friend Jack is a great person. Leonardo is also an aspiring writer and Jack has shown interest in reading his work. Grab a copy of this book and find out for yourself what happens next.

I liked the way the author introduced the setting, milieu (environment) and the principal characters first. Story is quite interesting. There are many characters in the story.

Hearts Amongst Stars written by the author K Soriano is a poetry book. The author has written all the poems in the left alignment. Below lines are my favorite among the collection. The narrator has expressed deep feelings of how someone means so much to us. Even when that special person is not physically around us, we feel so much for him/her.

Of all the people in the world,
there’s only one
who can give us butterflies.
Make our hearts feel full.
Feel our souls connect as one.
Allow us to feel comfortable
with who we are
and love us anyway.
Once you find that person,
consider yourself lucky.
Truly special.
And never let them go.

A person who has been in love could understand the meaning of these lines very well.

Language used in the book is simple. If you are a beginner in reading poetry, you will be able to understand what the author is trying to convey using these poems. Cover photo is simple yet relevant as it depicts the night sky full of stars. It’s so thoughtful. Poetry lovers should definitely read this book.
