Book Review- 'Poetry out and loud' by Sujata Parashar

It’s all there in the book which can be proverbial to most readers and they can enjoy it thoroughly the free verses of “Poetry out and loud”. Every element is there in the poems from humor to love, from social issues to Stories, a poetry lover can connect easily with the poems. It also gives strong messages which makes you think about it and can touch your hearts.

The book starts from Freedom, the most important part of humanity. The poem beautifully defined the real meaning of Freedom today. If you go into depth you’ll be totally agree of what message is given from it.

“When looks are exchanged without biases

Hands greet each other minus prejudices

Vanity does not affect the senses

Hearts reach out like true friends

That is Freedom”

The poems which contain stories or tales like “That classical lady called Madame Bovary” is the poet’s take on the highly controversial novel of Gustave Flaubert, considered a master piece.

The stranger and His son, gives an insight of a life of a soldier and the emotions of a father and son are captured wonderfully.

From “What is Love” to “Shut up” every emotion is penned fabulously well, even there is a poem on abuses called as “Pragmatic analysis of abuses”, it’s not the research on abuses done by Kareena Kapoor in Ra.One. Lolz! But a real meaningful take on the subject.

“Expletives like pig, swine, dog and scavenger
sounded just right when the hardcore, scientific process of evaluation
was based on strong and positive sense of imagination”.

I have chosen three best poems according to my opinion as I liked them most-
In a boat without oars! , If you go deep you will totally agree with the message given in it. These lines speaks the conclusion of the poem-

After all, I went to the sea in a boat without oars,

It will be a mighty feat achieved, my only pride!

It encourages the people to do something in life on their own with no support from anybody, there is only one help and this help comes from God when you are dedicated towards your goal.

Second poem is Celebrity, This poem will make
your heart feel the love exactly in the way a mother feels for his
child. I just loved this poem.

“To you I might be another,

Poor child on the street

For my mother I am a celebrity!”

It engraves the thoughts of a poor yet confident child and also ridicules the double standard which exists between rich and poor.

Third and the most gorgeous poem of the book just like its name, Beautiful.

“Lies they might have been called,
Backed by Her own faith,

They metamorphosed into strong beliefs”.

It actually a introvert girl who was called as ‘ugly beautiful girl’ as people thought that she was ugly form her outer looks but nobody saw her gorgeous heart and at last, love came vanishing to prove her beauty in the language of wind and at last she found that she was beautiful, It also proved one of my quote “Your outer looks are the glasses but your inner one is your mirror"

The book also contains a poem called ‘Ugly’ which compares Good and bad.

Even if someone doesn’t understand poetry after reading POETRY OUT and LOUD will start loving poetry. I recommend this great book by Sujata Parashar, my Elder friend and a Bestselling Author of “In pursuit of Infidelity”.
