Life has its ways unanticipatedUnfolds as it revealsWhat we were destined to beThat can be amendedBy neither you nor me..'A leaf upon a book' is a debut book by Anam Tariq which is a collection of 25 poems written on keen observations of nature, surrounding, childhood days, hypocrisy, corruption etc. Each poem has its own importance and emotion worried deep and expressed through words.Poems here appreciable as they described peace in solitude, calmness, nature's beauty, hope, dreams, memories and many more.As author states- ' that poems not only consists of obsessions, yearnings, losses, contemplations, trepidations, skepticism and many more but they also features vivid delineations- of places she have and not have been to..'She really proved her point with the poems with wilderness, hopes, orchards, riverside, highlands etc that the poems have a sense of tranquility which can take you to places with each line and make you want to drown in the beauty of nature. She also wrote poems showing her respect to her Alma mater.What I loved the most is how she described the purity of soul and the fears of it becoming dark."It resides inside a beingAs pure as glacial water,Saved from breachUntil it fallsWithin the devilish human's reach"I also loved how the author written her childhood memories, her anger on this changing generation where there is corruption, bribery, children leaving their old parents on their own etc.. this showed how much she hated the changing times and how she expected this world to be. The poems were thought provoking and unique in their own way.With each poem I could resonate the nature's beauty feeling like I have been to these places and there was calmness with each turning page.The language was rich with figurative literature which is rare in this era's poetries. Few poems were inspired by literary poets during old times which is respectable as it is difficult to write such lines for the first time in a debut book.There were also images with each poem to make the reader visualize the scene. I also loved the title and cover of the book choosen by author. They are attractive and unique. Purple colour and flowers indicates the themes, tranquility and visual appeal of poems.I would highly recommend this short book to all poetry lovers who are admirers of shakespeare, william wordsworth, robert browning, T.S. Eliot etc.

As an American ELA teacher, I love reading Anam's book because it mimics so many elements of our classic "Greats". Her syntax, her diction, her imagery--it all reads like "an old book" if you will. The lovely thing about that is it forces you into a present mind. It is a heavy read for most, but as you focus on the writing and kill the distractions, you really do get immersed into a kind of light-hearted world that offers observations and perspectives on things with which we can all relate.

Anam has a gift with words that is both classic and contemporary. She skillfully channels the craft of TS Eliot and William Shakespeare while singing praises to God and exploring her reality. This is a poet to keep your eye on as her writing is bound to only get more complex and beautiful as time goes on, which is hard to imagine as the images she's already painted with her words are quite exquisite.

I really enjoyed reading Anam's poetic journey. Each poem in the book becomes increasingly layered into the author's thoughts, and absorption of the world around her. Littered in complexity of language, vivid imagery, and extended metaphor, this was an absolute gem to read. I do hope to see more of Anam's printed words in the future. A "Leaf Upon a Book" is a must buy and read!
