💚Book Review💚

 Echoes of an Unquiet Heart by Sohini Maitra is a poignant contribution to the contemporary tradition of confessional poetry. With its thematic blend of love, loss, and emotional unrest, this collection stands as both an intimate personal narrative and a universal reflection on the fragility and resilience of the human spirit.

The collection explores what it means to feel deeply in a world that often demands composure. Maitra leans into the rawness of heartbreak, longing, and quiet grief with a voice that is both vulnerable and assured. The poems do not shy away from emotional chaos; instead, they dwell in it, offering readers an honest portrayal of the “beautiful mess” that defines much of the human experience.

Love, in these pages, is not idealized—it is aching and ecstatic, full of silences and surges. The ache of longing, one of the recurring motifs, is treated not just as romantic yearning but also as existential questioning. This lends the poems a philosophical edge beneath their lyrical softness.

Maitra’s writing is minimalistic yet emotionally saturated. She favors a free-verse style, allowing her imagery and emotion to guide the rhythm rather than formal structure. There is a deliberate sparseness to her language, which mirrors the quiet grief and introspective solitude her poems often depict.

In Echoes of an Unquiet Heart, Sohini Maitra offers more than just poetry—she offers permission. Permission to feel, to grieve, to remember, and, most importantly, to heal.

This is a book that belongs on the nightstand of anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost silently, or simply felt too much.

Must read♥️♥️
