Review:

▶️ Do you love reading poetry?

Rich, vibrant and compelling, that’s how my last read has been. I love reading poetry and this book gives readers a rich reading experience. The Great Wager and Other Poems by Uppada Appa Rao is a collection of heartwarming poems on outstanding topics. I enjoyed and adored the topics he chose to write verses on.

The poems are deep and enchanting, taking readers on an emotional journey. He describes the beauty of nature, the human quest for wonders, mythology, love for country, and about the little things that are not little.

‘Kiss my rays and fade away;
The higher I go, the shorter your shadow,
The brighter the sky and the day.’

‘Prayer’, ‘A Sparrow in My Room’, ‘The Sun’, ‘Rama’s Reply to Bharata’, ‘The Great Wager’, and ‘The Festival of Gifts’ are a few of my favourites from the book. Each of them conveys a beautiful story and carries an important message for the readers. His vibrant and lyrical writing style captures the attention of the readers.

The way he describes the feeling in the form of poetry is truly magical as we see the hues of life with time. The poems are deep, a bit heavy so take your time, read this one slowly and you’ll enjoy it. In all, it’s an enchanting collection of poems you can count on.
