Artists are known to write what they feel and give the best words with which many people can easily relate and many others can understand and agree. Everlyne Nyambura with her poetry collection, “A Collection of Relatable Thoughts” invites the reader to a journey of not just self discovery but also the discovery of the fact that everyone is in the same boat.
The cover of the book features a lion which is a symbol of elegance, grace, royalty and most importantly, courage to face and fight anything. This makes sure that the reader is psychologically prepared to read the book and feel the positivity that the book is going to give.
The author’s division of the poems into five categories with broad titles only gives a brief idea about the kind work she has written and only on reading them, the readers understand the depth of her thoughts and the things she wants to share with the readers. Poems in “Battleground” are like lifelessons which every person must read to learn and the effects of negative thoughts. “Them Vs You” is a section which should be read by all young readers as they are bound to have gone through all that Nyambura has written about. The title says a lot when it comes to “Relationship”. This is also something all young and mature readers shouls read. “Learning Curve” and “Soaring” are like the author sharing her philosophy of life and all that she has learnt so far. These five phases also give a slight idea about the growth in the pesonality of the poet and her evolving as a mature individual.
All readers from different genres or even prose should give “A Collection of Relatable Thoughts” a try and feel the difference the book can bring even in a single read.
