69: The OtherWise Poetry

by Amol Redij

69: The Otherwise Poetry is a collection of 69 poems that perceptively romanticises a relationship between two lovers. The poems narrate the yearning of betrayed soul, who now craves to reunite with his passionate inamorata. The tale echoes his ache for a fervid intimacy that they once shared. This longing, however, is not conveyed in a direct quixotic manner to make it sound like a clichéd tender yarn of love, but instead given in a shade of a fiery romance that tangentially steers through the unimaginable boundaries of fantasy. Sadly though, it is just a dreamy imagination filled with a violent agony of abandonment that pours out in form of inhuman thoughts for his dearie. At times the mood sways through the feelings of hatred, regret, and cruelty. Perhaps there is nothing orderly in his life, yet in that disorderly state, this possessed admirer sails across in imagination to make things look aesthetical amidst the chaotic torments. The imaginings are an exact upside-down, an opposite, of the realities. The collection, aptly titled 69: The Otherwise Poetry , will be of interest to readers who are always on the hunt to read something different and interesting.

[Jahnavi Bandaru · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the kind of book I can never leave left unopened for my parents to see. That would be a nightmare.
You can guess based on the title what the book is about but it's more than that.
The poems each and every sixty nine of them, are a journey of a man trying to mend his broken heart but also vividly imagining memories he had with the love of his life.
Love is complicated, messy, stupid, raw, and scary.
A broken heart is so much worse. And you can genuinely find yourself feeling bad the main character in this string of poems.
I will say the titles were cleverly crafted to fit the poem,if not more. I like that the poet described all the shades of love, the lust, the intimacy, the passion but also the darker part of it too.
