Book Title:
The title of the book 'A sip of coffee' is very refreshing and soothing.
Book Cover:
The cover image of the book is a simple digital image with geometrical shapes on the
background and a picture of a young girl holding her coffee mug. Nothing about the book can be guessed by the image.
About the book:
The book, 'A sip of Coffee' is a collection of 50 poems that can be classified into different categories.
Like Leonardo Da Vinci once said, “Painting is Poetry which is seen and not heard, and Poetry is a Painting which is heard but not seen”. Poetry, therefore, is an essence of life and it portrays every situation in life. As there are various flavors of coffee, one's life also has various experiences. Some may be good, some bad, some great and some utter gruesome.
In this book, the author has resented the readers with an interesting platter of poems that talk about unconditional love, tranquility, friendship, hope, happiness, nature, human emotions and other different attributes of life. It is interesting how the author crafted a book of poems that has varied directions of life and each has its own purpose and importance.
Poems like Red Love, Bonded Souls and I Wish talk about unconditional and soulful love,
whereas poems like Aspiration. Trust, Survival and Mind Pigeon talk about positive virtues that one has to inculcate. There are many other poems that come under various other topics are exhibited with much enthusiasm and honesty. The poem Bloody Womb has touched me deep inside and as a woman could feel every syllable with utmost attention.
What I like:
1. Simple language that is easy to understand in every poem
2. Interesting Titles for each poem
3. Varied topics and emotions as the main subject of each poem
4. Honesty in every poem
What I didn't like:
1. Grammatical errors in few poems.
2. The book cover image could have been a better one.
My Final Verdict:
Book Title: 4/5
Book Cover: 3/5
About the book: 4/5
Overall, I rate it as a 3.5*/5*. It is one of the most honest attempts in poetry and the author makes a great impression on the reader's mind.
