I am not usually into poetry, but this book sounds interesting. I like the fact that the author weaves her own experiences inthe poems. It also sounds like a book that would make readers think about deeper spiritual concepts. Thanks for a great review and congrats to the author on BOTD!

Your enthusiasm for the "Basking Ridge" poem is infectious. I'm intrigued to explore how the author weaves cultural and homely elements into the poetry, creating a relatable and enriching experience.

Thank you for the wonderful review. The author is trying to put his life experiences in different cultures which is western and eastern, in America, India and UK through art of poetry. That integration help the readers to connect with the author's journey. I have enjoyed reading every bit of the sample.

Fantastic review! Your insights into the personal connections of the author and how it enhances the reading experience make me curious about "Looking Inwards: A Journey into Turiya."

Looking Inwards: A Journey into Turiya by Sameer Pendse is a poetic exploration and self-expression, contributing to 'social responsibility' poetry to foster love and calmness in life. Divided into three parts, the book reflects the author's experiences in America, India, and the UK, emphasizing the mission of keeping people together in peace through love. The intimate references to 'our boys' and the incorporation of family lend a cultural and homely perspective, making the poetry relatable and deeply connected to the author's personal journey.

I feel good to know that this poetry collection is error-free, reflects some personal experiences of the author, and perfectly communicates to readers the shared experiences. For sure, we all have varying perceptions of the afterlife. I think I am curious to read the poem titled "Basking Ridge." Overall, I think this book deserves a read.

It was great reading the sample, and your review is great. I enjoy reading, if I had to choose between poetry and spirituality. I would write poetry. I like poetry to have a peak of spirituality. Spirituality is another subject which I don't dig much into. The sample books was just as good.

'Reading Inner Trek' by Mohan Ranga Rao was like going on a cool adventure to Kailash Manasa Sarovar. The author tells the story so well, making the pilgrimage sound amazing.
