You don't have to understand it, you just have to feel it. Let the poems speak for themselves.
Unheard is a poetic journey of a common neighbourhood teenager, filled with emotions and feelings, that sometimes remain unspoken and subsequently unheard.
The author writes her unfiltered and in-depth thoughts as she experiences different seasons of life, and hopes to take you all on a poetic journey of passion, determination, love, hate, belief and faith.
For a long time, I didn’t like poems. I couldn’t understand them but then I realized I didn’t have to. They are supposed to make me feel. Unheard by Bhavini Bhargava is a modern poetry book that inflicts many feelings. However, I can’t say it won me over totally.
I blame half of it for the fact that I’ve read an ebook version of it and it took away some of the experience. The book itself has beautiful illustrations and a bit of strange spacing, which I will come back later.
From the Introduction I got to know the style of the poet. I started to like her but I had some reservations as well. To shed some light on these, the language she used sometimes made me uncomfortable (“alpha mentality”).
It was like any other poetry book from recent times, which in fact is a pro and con at the same time. It was whimsical, relatable, written in modern language, and around a hundred pages. A nice reading with a lot to say. And with some illustrations. But at the same time, it spread to more than a hundred pages with some unnecessary (in my opinion at least) spacing of the text, it used some cliché phrases and sometimes it felt dishonest.
I know I was harsh in the previous paragraph and I have to be honest, this was not bad poetry. I enjoyed most of it and it really made me feel. It made me realize I’m not alone and I can be heard as well. I don’t agree with everything but then I don’t even have to.
It truly has a unique style in voice and some of them surprisingly cut deep.
In the end, I can recommend it to anyone who feels the need to be heard and to those who generally like poems. It’s a nice reading and a pretty book to have in hand. I will give it another chance in the future to completely win me over.

I love to read and discover new genres to open my view. (Un)fortunately, I always have opinions about my reading and like to share them with others - in person and online.
