Book Review: Azure Daydreams

#QOTD: What do you do when people don't return the books they borrowed from you?😑
.
“Azure Daydreams” by Gayathri Krishnan is a collection of poems with thoughts that explore different dimensions of life and society. This makes the work multi-faceted and also making it a work which would be chosen by not any particular set of readers. 
The collection comprising 30 poems, for once, create an atmosphere of a dreamy and imaginative landscape, yet poems like “When Will We Walk Fearless?”, “Grow Your Own Skin,” “Comrades,” “You Should Not Miss You,” “Smiling Scars” show the poet’s connect with the present world too. Some poems like “Pluviophile,” “Waves Unrequited,” “The Woods do Cry,” “How Does Rain Sound to You” do carry a Wordsworthian air where she seems to connect with nature closely, but at the same time, poems like these show her worldly awareness.
“Azure Daydreams” as a title only reveals the surface-level details without letting the readers guess the surprises of different themes which Krishnan shares in her work. Poetry lovers would find poems of this collection catching their interest effortlessly. In addition to the poetic forms the poet uses, the diction is also carefully chosen and placed. Krishnan may or may not have read the classics but displays the potential of writing more such content in the future and helping in opening the minds of the readers to different dimensions.
