My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐
(Disclaimer: I received a free digital copy of this book from the author for review purposes. All opinions in this review are my own and are honest and unbiased.)
I agreed to review Clementines
on my Poetry Table because I wanted to read candid poetry that made me
feel. That’s exactly what I got. I was impressed by the depth of emotions
Harsimran Kaur so expertly evoked. For me, a large part of this work’s appeal
was the rawness and openness of the poems, many of which held powerful, admirable messages, such as to care for our world. While some wording felt awkward, I appreciated the author's style overall and was stirred by the
rich, stimulating, and sometimes dreamlike imagery she created.
This collection was aptly named, and the symbolism of its title became even more apparent as I progressed through the work. I read Clementines on my Poetry Table twice to make sure I absorbed it before I wrote my review, and, naturally, rereading it allowed me to discover new facets of it. I believe I’ll return to these poems again in the near future to see what else I can draw from them. I wholly recommend Clementines on my Poetry Table to any lovers of this art form, as it was a truly moving, thought-provoking read.
