At 74 pages, this book is a really quick read. You can finish it in under half an hour. That is, if like yours truly, you don’t start adding little sticky note stubs to the poems where you started making seal noises. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In this book of poems, Pragya Bhagat compellingly writes about feminism, skin color, and life in general. My only problem with it? It ended too soon!

Loved reading every page of this short yet powerful book of poetry. The words spoke to me and often made me wonder about the self in this ever-changing, opinionated, vivid and at times a livid world. Through More Than a Memory, Pragya Bhagat, the author, takes one on a journey into anecdotes and stories about her life, through metaphors, surprising and stirring poetic notes about herself.
There is a sense of freedom in the writing, which made it a warm and captivating tale. It's an honest, free flowing and passionate portrayal of the author's journey through the many facets of life. The book is a great companion, keep it under that pillow; it is successful in reflecting and re-telling stories of one's life too.

I am not into poems for some odd reason but this book was compelling in every way. I enjoyed and even found bits fascinating. The author has a long way to go and I would love to read more such illuminating overtures.

For all the poetry lovers here is another gem to be read. I could not put it down and had to read all the poems in one go. Young people can relate to this book. It is a melodious autobiography. Go ahead and read it for yourself.
