A beautifully written book of poems detailing the life of Itai and how he got where he is today. Inspiring and thought provoking. Would recommend to anyone who is in need of an uplifting journey of strength and love.

When you have got some distance travelling into the void called life, it is important to look back, gauge your progress, reminisce the good times, to just sit back and introspect. We live a life usually for others, to please some person, to get the acknowledgement of society, to be popular and in demand, the latest term being to be trending on the top ten of everything but then while doing all of those things do we get anywhere? If not how do we reach the place we want to be. It might not be the same for everyone but it doesn't hurt to have a little soulful introspection.
A cricketer, a techie, an author and also a public speaker, I am guessing that you might realise that a person who has achieved so much will only enthral us with his musings of the living past. So I knew that I would be interested in learning this man's story, well I wasn't exactly expecting to be hit by a series of poems that brush your feet off the ground and just smack you in the face with emotional, joyful, sadness and even melancholic beat. There is too much to know about this man's life and I dare say all of it is put in such a way that you wouldn't feel like having to sit through a boring lecture.
The flair of the poetry is adept at making you feel at home. I like the imageries associated with the different parts of the poet's life. I like the way the images come to your mind bit by bit instead of straight-up spawning out of nowhere and without any context. To be honest, non-fiction is something that is not always really easy to read, it takes much patience to get through even half of it but I must also point out that I have never read non-fiction which is poetry. So all in all this is a unique perspective of a man and his life.

Mr. Njanji's poetry speaks to the many worlds he has known. Although his life story is unique, the themes in his poetry are universal. I was moved by his love of his birthplace, how he describes mourning, how he reflects on his rich life. It made me appreciate the beauty in my life more. It inspires me to meditate, to let love in and to look at the world critically. Mr. Njani has a special gift to beautifully express the great journey of life.

3.5 rounded up. Some poems are more expertly constructed than others. Maybe this is personal preference, but I felt like exclamation points were used too often, and not all of the lines/enjambment felt intentional. But the content is a fascinating look at an immigrant’s life. I haven’t seen this type of storyline in a poetry collection before.

A beautiful book of poetry that is truly inspiring, simple and thought provoking. I will keep Reflections close at hand to pick up and remind myself that life is to be lived and enjoyed with those we love and nothing should be taken for granted.

These were beautiful. The writing I'd so clean, but every word was clearly chosen with so much love and care. I wish I wrote poetry with an eighth of the talent of Mr
Njanji.

Memoir poems that take you into the life of one individual, but through his "reflections" also into his culture. A worthwhile read. I received a Kindle copy through Goodreads giveaways. Thank you!
