Review of Aman Arora Anthology Volume I



About the Author:
Aman Arora is a scholar and seeks interest in writing poems. He has been writing  poems since he was 13. At present, he is pursuing Bachelor's degree in education.

Cover:
'Aman Arora Anthology' has been written over it with word 'anthology' having special detailing of words are there. Whem you see it minutely, they seems to be choosen from the poems only. Volume I gives an idea that next volume is in the store .

Content:
Book's content us divided into various sections:
Flash Poetry, Self-Reflection, Relations, Love & Affection, Philosophy & Spirituality, Creativity and Miscellaneous.

Foreword by Raghav Gautam sets the tone of the work of Aman Arora. Flash Poetry gives goosebumps at time when you will read it. This work is worth mentioning:
'Looking into her midnight eyes,
listening to her sleepy voice,
cuddling her loose hair,
I have known bliss."

Works like this and many more take you to another world of your own. In these works of Aman, we come to know what he has gone through in his life.

Haiku is one beautiful part of this collection. Few words are there but open to your own height of imagination.

Poems like
"Learning After School",
"Space",
"Affection", 
"I still need you",
"Sorry Pa, I disagree",
"Ice-Cream",
"There is No Way",
"Just Let it Be",
"What a Dream is"
are some piece of jewels showcased by poet in his work.
In creativity, he explores his view towards art and what he feels for it.

There are poems which focus on his relationships with his grandfather, his father. There is something too about 'unsent letters' as poet used this phrase a few times.
I would like to quote few lines from his works:
'There is no way that you can break my heart. 
Without breaking yours.'

'the voice that is lost in our routine rush, 
refound, reviewed by a poet's brush'

Verdict:
In totality, Aman Arora will win you over as you will progress. He will have his moments while you will read. Raghav Gautam foreword seems to be true when you're done reading it.
Aman hasn't used typical words and has gone easy with expressing which makes poetry better.
Aman promises us with good work in future too.
