The review encompassed every aspect, sparking my curiosity to explore the author's personal life through poetic expression in the book. The theme of social responsibility added another layer of intrigue.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting collection of poems about the author's life and covering a range of different topics and experiences. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

A beautiful poetry book that motivates, inspires, and engages. In addition, it presents spirituality in a way that teaches and questions.

This book seems like such an interesting drive into the author's mind. The poems dealt with a lot of topics spanning across three countries. Thanks for the amazing review.

Poems can indeed be regarded as the gasoline that keeps us running. Certainly, nothing beats a carefully and artfully written poetry book. It o good to read that this one focuses on keeping us loving and calm. I have added the book to my want-to-read shelf. Many thanks for the well-balanced, informative review.

Social responsibility is a very important topic in all aspects. By taking the topic to poetry, I imagine that there will be very delicate and forceful messages through those writings. All reflected from the author's own experience, including his spiritual point of view.

A self expression based poetic book "Looking Inwards" by Sameer Pendse, which follows life in America, middle years In India, and starting In the UK. This is a interesting book.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Looking Inwards

The author uses poems as its main focus that allows us to see the projected impact on life.The poems are broken down in a way that we as the reader can gather information and knowledge for ourselves. It does not push its beliefs on the reader although it contains more spiritual beliefs and content. As the teader I enjoy the balance that it has on one’s beliefs. Take what resonates and leave the rest.

Poetry speaks of life in the most intimate way, going straight to our hearts. Yet they get easily overshadowed by other genres. It is a pleasant surprise to find a poetry book as the BOTD! The author did an amazing job of incorporating his life's experiences into the poems. Congrats.

The review is most expertly written. I appreciate the reviewer's attempt to explain the inner feelings of the poems. Thank you.

I enjoyed reading the sample. Poetry is a creative way to express yourself. The author did an excellent job explaining how writing poetry is cathartic. Poetry gives writers a chance to tell their stories. The writer included beautiful poetry in the story. If you don't enjoy reading it, this sample allows you to see it differently. I like how the author doesn't force poetry on the reader.

Not only do I love conscious poetry books, but I also write poetry so this is right up my alley. I cannot wait to embark on the authors journey through America, India and the UK with poetic wordplay. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

"A beauty of a poem lasts forever." True! Poems are a major part of our lives. As said by Percy Bysshe Shelley, " A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." Poem is the one and only truth of our lives. What we are in this world if not a poetry? The author has done a great job putting this book together. And the best poetry contains pearls of wisdom. Thank you for the honest review.

This poetry is beautifully written. I enjoyed reading the free sample, and will go on to finish the book. Free form, open verse poetry like this lends itself to a wide range of emotions and complex thought. The author does not disappoint. Philosophy, spirituality, hope, and joy leap from the page!
