Review: Icebergs in Paradise

Icebergs in Paradise by Sayan Basak
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurb -

There is a relationship between the eye contacts we make and the perceptions that we create in our heads, a relationship between the sound of another's voice and the emotions that we feel in our hearts, a relationship between our movements in space all around us and the magnetic pulls we can create between others and ourselves. All of these things (and more) make up the magic of every ordinary day and if we are able to live in this magic, to feel and to dwell in it, we will find ourselves living with magic every day. These are the white spaces in life, the spaces in between the written lines, the cracks in which the sunlight filters into. Some of us swim in the overflowing of the wine glass of life, we stand and blink our eyes in the sunlight reaching unseen places, we know where to find the white spaces, we live in magic. Icebergs in Paradise is a journey that will make you travel the entire world of emotions - starting it from joy to sadness, love to pain, fear to cheer and anger to tranquility.

My Views -

Icebergs In Paradise by Sayan Basak is an collection of 54 poems. The poet has beautifully written each with its own soulful word. I liked reading his/her perspective of story in same anthology.

All the poems are good one, each poem has an ability to stay within among those my favorites are "The Visitor", "Valentine's library" both had a great touch with emotions, also the "Full Moon Musings", "The Caged Bird's Song" are soothing ones. The lines which stayed within my thoughts are " Liquid moonbeams dream silvery quietude over the depths of our indigo lake".

Indeed the book will serve good for the time you spent, The simple and lucid flow of words is an another merit. Overall, its an clear and delightful read.
