One of my favorite authors! Diya Kole is brave and unapologetic. She explores topics that may make others uncomfortable while facilitating personal growth and self-reflection. Her poetry commands you to feel something and look within yourself. I highly recommend.

I enjoyed reading this poetry collection. The author is vulnerable and open in the writings, and left me feeling hopeful, after resonating with many of the poems. My favourite poem in the collection was PROTECTION. Wow, did that one speak to me. I look forward to reading more of this author's work.

Masterpiece

These poems are not just pretty words but a whole journey. Each page is well thought out from the poem, to how the words are organized, and the pictures that are chosen. A must read for those who love poetry.

Nicely written

I really enjoyed the author’s personal stylizing of this beatable collection of deep and personal poems. However, I am not the biggest fan of the cover; I don’t think it represents the soulful work inside.

Colourful

I'm not much for being a critic of poetry but I felt these personal poems. Taking you through the various colours of a kaleidoscope and seeing what each colour could mean to you through the eyes of a personal perspective.

Wow

These are some of the best poems I've read in a long while. I love how the author grouped them in colors and showed a wide range of emotions and experiences.
