This poetry collection is one with a focus on the environment and there is a clear theme that calls the reader to not only see the importance of ecosystems around them, but to do his or her part in order to preserve them and help such ecosystems thrive. Most of the poems included mention flora and fauna to varying degrees as well as other factors that contribute to climate change. It is quite obvious that some research was done to include the various topics in the poems and that these topics are close to the heart of Banerjee.

I firstly want to commend the young author for not only writing but seeking to publish and for including images she drew herself. I do want to comment on the formatting because it is a tad unusual for a book of poetry. The poet has a preface, a prologue and chapters. Furthermore, each chapter has a small autobiographical paragraph at its beginning. At first glance, it appears that the poet may not actually be that familiar with poetry collections and how they are formatted so as a reader, that was something that I had to get past in order to enjoy the actual text on the page.

As for the formatting of the poems themselves, Banerjee uses mainly rhyming couplets and stanzas with an A-B-A-B pattern, so if you aren't that fond of rhyme-heavy collections, this may not be the best book for you.

I feel as though the poet truly hits their stride in the second half of the collection when she is blatant and direct about calling for change and beseeching the reader to think about the choices they have made and how they have either contributed to pollution or done their part to reduce it. In fact, the first thirty-five pages or so pale in comparison to the rest of the collection. While I am not sure the images are necessary, they always elude to what the previous or following poem will discuss, making a nice addition.

At this point, I can say that I highly enjoyed the topics brought up by Banerjee and while it is clear in the method of writing that she is a younger poet, I believe that she will go far and continue to strengthen her craft as a writer. I also believe that this poetry collection would be great for younger readers and/or those who are interested in climate change and being responsible with the resources we have been given.
