Review:

‘If I let this song end, I may lose you all over again
A fate that I refuse to accept So like my memories,
I allow this song to play
In an infinite loop for all eternity
In the hope that what’s left of your love will keep me alive. ‘

Poetry always heals me and this book is indeed a masterpiece. A book that brings back memories, making us pause and reflect on life, a book that will remind us of our favourite song, the favourite part from the series, and a book that will make us fall in love with nature. Harsha Agarwal’s ‘Four Billion Years’ is a collection of poems with the themes of love, longing, nature, desire and hope. Harsha with her words takes readers on an emotional journey and with each poem, we see a layer unveiling the raw beautiful emotions.

In her words, we see that desire to be loved, the longing for love, and the passion for love, and here we witness the magical poems. Each poem tells an untold story which will bring smiles to our faces. Candid, rich and vibrant, Her writing style is lyrical and enchanting making readers fall in love with her words. The poems are deep and mesmerizing making us admire the simplicity and beauty of life. Here we witness the emotions each one of us goes through.

Well, each poem starts with an interesting title which is impressive. It creates a sense of curiosity in the readers’ minds, making us want more. Her emotions are raw and honest and we can see that in her poem ‘My Bets with the Universe.’ Simple yet beautifully described, each poem has its own charm giving readers a different perspective.

‘Worship’, ‘My Bets with the Universe’, ‘ I have to thank you notes for the gifts I am yet to receive, ‘ 1st Jan or whichever date you decide to start the new year, and ‘My fish taught me what Gibran meant’ are my favourite poems from the book. The way she describes the simple moment so beautifully makes this book a must-read.

Want to read deep, heartwarming poetry? This is the book you must not skip. An enchanting, emotional read.
