Just finished reading Monsoon Showers and here is my review:
“Monsoon Showers by Jaspreet Mann Kanwar is a skilfully-written compilation of poetry that explores moments of conflict, sadness, and longing. This is the third book that I had the pleasure to read by this gifted, unique poet. I am deeply moved by her insights, most of which have a profound sense of wistfulness to them.
It takes courage to delve into the soul and pull out some of the most intimate feelings. Many of the poems are addressed, in a conversational manner, to the man in her life, after love has released its promise to disappointment. Here is a little snippet from a poem titled Conflict:
I’ll choose insanity, I am blind, You think with your mind
In Unrequited Love The petal flies out of the window On the pavement, watches people go
The book’s title is taken from a lovely poem by the same name:
Monsoon showers, in spite of resplendent canopies, Drenched in feelings of turmoil, ecstasy. Taken back to the sweetness of yesteryears, The flush of spring and the dizzy fears.
You will find this book lyrical, and more than that, you may discover that it allows you to find yourself in its reflections.
