Searching for a pulse von Nazifa Islam
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.Nazifa Islam's volume of poetry "Searching for a Pulse" is a searing collection that gets to the heart of one individual's unease in a society of disquiet. Islam considers the disease of depression and wills us to come out on the other side. A brave work.
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.Searching for a Pulse tells the story of Rosemary, a woman who repeatedly attempts to commit suicide.

Some of what was said in these poems were things that I was able to relate to and that made the work so much more meaningful. All in all, the story itself is sad but definitely worth the read.

Ultimately, though the message and story is bleak with little hope or redemption. So, it's not for everyone.… (mehr)
