🪄Firstly, the book cover. Its so captivating that you would instantly want to get a hold of this book. Yellow outlined roses over a background of pink and white smudge takes you to a dreamy world, it totally aligns with what the back cover says - ‘Perhaps softness is what we need.’
🪄Secondly, the layout of Blush. The book is kept away from assigned headings. Each unit begins with a little note from author declaring how to experience the coming words. Whole collection is written in small caps, which provide a continuous flow of involvement in a reader’s mind (i myself use small caps in my own poems and it feels like serving the reader with perennial flow of emotions, that large caps sometimes break). Also, there is a healthy amount of space dedicated to relatable illustrations to give the picture of poem as a bonus for readers. I personally love the pages with cursive fonts giving context to poems, like ~ ‘seasons’, ‘poetry hugs people when they need it the most’ and ‘i gave all of me for so little of you’.
🪄and Lastly, the poems. It won’t be wrong if I say - Blush is not a book, it’s an experience. All the poems are smooth to understand and easy to interpret. They don’t make you fall in a complicated loop of words, instead they make home in your heart. I liked the small poems and one-liners really much. Isn’t it incredible how even just a line can make you feel so many things!
Shefali did a great job in infusing life to this book and I admire her for that greatly!
🌸Blush is a beautiful collection of poems, and if poetry comforts you, I definitely recommend you this book 🌸
