With Lang Leave and Michael Faudet, you surely are going to face a typical bibliophile dilemma. You want to devour all yet you don’t want to end it at all.

Poisoned Apples by Christine Heppermann

While the book cover enchants you to infinity, each poem will scoop a hole in your soul but for good. The collection is surely a feminist one, which debases the fairy tales and ‘knight in the shining armor’ concept.

Interspersed with black and white photographs but each is aptly poignant. Each poem will leave you in pool of tears yet you will yearn for more. It is going to leave you wrecked but exposes to many realities. Hepperman has cunningly added few comic elements here and there to break that murkiness. But trust me, you are not going to regret this short read.

The Prophet by Khalil Gibran

After breaking you apart with Poisoned Apples, I have The Prophet for you, to soothe your soul. It is not a sermon, but this poem takes you on a journey laying bare many explored and unexplored horizons. It’s a must read to elevate you from many falsities, which you consider reality.

It will drag you in a halo to leave you in light. Each word will make you yearn for next and each unfurling page will unfurl your soul. This is neither a religious nor spiritual read, it is just condensed version to take you to much higher plane. Indeed yet another short read, but amazingly captivating one.

The collections range from feminist to soul-searching, and even to exploring the bodies and to hearts- but each read will steal your heart. If poems never interested you, then your first will be amazing. But if you are already entrenched in magic of poems, then let go of yourself and rise higher in love of poetry.

Happy Reading!!!
