Harmony by Apala Banerjee seems interesting because it uses poetry to discuss nature in a creative way, and I like that it encourages people to care about their environment.

Unfortunately, drama and poetry are definitely not my cup of tea, because it is way too confusing for me to search the sense in double-meaning words and metaphors. Often, reading poetry is almost like cracking a code and I don't believe that "accompanying illustrations" will help matters. Sorry I prefer to skip the book, but congrats with BOTD!

Thank you for such a thoughtful and insightful review! I appreciate how you highlighted the way Apala Banerjee's poetry intertwines emotional depth with environmental advocacy. It's impressive that the poems are arranged in a thoughtful, categorical way—this kind of structure can really help readers feel a sense of progression or thematic flow. I’m also intrigued by how the simple illustrations carry profound meaning. It sounds like this book doesn’t just celebrate nature but gently urges us to reflect on our role in preserving it. Despite the minor grammatical errors you mentioned, it’s great to know they don’t take away from the overall impact. This sounds like a powerful read that blends art and awareness beautifully.

'Official Review: Harmony: The Saga of the Earth' by Apala Banerjee expresses the main thoughts and ideas of the poetry book. I like the introduction in the review. The nature-themed poems with an aesthetic appeal add to our reading enjoyment. They encourage readers to engage with their environment. This book raises our awareness of environmental issues and contributes to relief from pollution and species endangerment. It was great to learn that the simple art illustrations in the book convey profound lessons!

I am not a fan of poetry, but I have always had a connection with nature. I think we should appreciate the world around us and do our best to preserve natural habitats of the creatures we share the world with.

Poetry lovers like me would find this book a great text for learning about environmental conservation. Writing in poetry style also ensures there's no monotony of narration. I also can't wait to view the illustrations as I read.

Poetry, a beautifully creative way of drawing attention to our environment, mirrors our actions. Apala Banerjee's 'Harmony: The Saga of the Earth' is a powerful reflection of this. As we read these poignant pieces, let us envision our negative role and feel a sense of responsibility for the restoration. These poems call for introspection, a reminder of our role in destroying and therefore restoring our planet. Great review.

I saw that the Writer did a beautiful job serving as environmental advocate in a world where we seems to care little about the health of our beautiful planet earth. Environmental consciousness through poetry is indeed meaningful to make readers to learn to live a balance life in Harmony.
Thanks to the reviewer for such inspiring review.
