"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
Weekly Geeks: Poetry Month
As most know, I am a poet too apart from being a reader. Here I post one of my recent poems.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
brash words on that message board
crash to the ground
like a saint you stand there
listening to the reverberating sound
it is your doing or undoing
(have it your own way,think what you like)
one by one, everyone walks away
you stand there alienated
if only you had lubricated your mind
you wouldn't put those words out there
and suffered because of it
