Words are deep enough to drown you, sharp enough to hit you, mellow enough to melt you. Blue Ashes consists of poems reflecting intricacies of emotions we all experience. In a world of wanderers, it attempts to bring to all a new world to travel to. Using metaphor as a tool to express the intensity and magnitude of feelings, Blue Ashes highlights love, grief, pain, loss, and the wandering individual in every person.
A small collection of beautiful poetry, Blue Ashes skillfully gives a glimpse into Ashraf's mind and heart. It was a light, enjoyable read. I would absolutely recommend this book to any who read poetry.
