🌌Book Review🌌

 In The Palette Of Me is a lyrical and emotionally resonant poetry collection by Swetha Lis Mathew, a young poet whose voice emerges with honesty, introspection, and a refreshing vulnerability. At just 22, Mathew offers a vivid self-portrait—one painted not in oils or pastels, but in words that shimmer with raw emotion and thoughtful reflection.

The structure of the collection is intentionally fluid, reflective of the evolving emotional landscape of a young woman navigating identity, growth, and belonging. Mathew doesn’t adhere to strict poetic conventions; instead, she embraces a style that is more organic and spontaneous, which mirrors the unpredictability and authenticity of human experience.

Each poem feels like a brushstroke, revealing different shades of the self—joy, sorrow, confusion, hope, and resilience. This metaphor of color as emotion is a central motif, and it is effectively employed to invite readers into the inner world of the poet. Titles and imagery suggest a synesthetic blend where feelings take on chromatic qualities, offering a sensory and deeply personal journey.

Mathew’s language is accessible yet evocative. She writes with a conversational tone that allows readers—particularly young adults—to relate easily. While her work may not strive for the linguistic complexity found in more traditional or academic poetry, its strength lies in its emotional clarity and sincerity.

In The Palette Of Me is not just a book of poems; it is a mirror reflecting the internal struggles and triumphs of a young woman finding her place in the world. For readers seeking poetry that is intimate, emotionally honest, and rooted in lived experience, this collection offers much to admire.
