Product Description:
poetry, first book by author of ARRANGED MARRIAGES
Rating:
- Interesting, provocative and flawed
Black Candle succeeds in its prose poems that a vignettes of the difficulties of life as a South Asian. The poems also work if one judges them as vignettes rather than poetry. Yoga Lessons is the strongest piece as poetry. Even as vignettes, however, the ubiquous use of first person, which works well for the poems in isolation, fails to work in the collection as the reader gets many "I's" of which some are the same and others not.

Rating: - Nice Poems But Too Gloomy
I was surprised by this book. I generally dislike "modern" poetry, but these poems were different. They seemed to speak of things in a way that sounded very genuine. The major fault of the book was that all of the poems seemed to emphasise how hard and terrible women's lives were, usually as the result of actions by men. This is fair enough, but when ALL of the poems seemed to have this same theme, it began to sound more like a collection of ehining rather than genuine emotional expression. A few verses on ...
