Clam Carmen: A Heaven of Poetry | Book Review

The beginnings are scary and endings are sad. It’s something in the between that makes life worth living… – Anon

Kushaangi Roy is just 17! Although, her perception makes her seem like an experienced adult. The same maturity and perception is reflected in her book ‘Clam Carmen’… Clam means a secret while Carmen means a song. The name itself tells us how intense the poetry is! It’s like a soft music with oodles of mystique and enigma. It’s a song from a melodious bird’s mouth. It is a beautiful concoction of feelings, emotions, perception, experiences. The poems have that depth which touch our emotional chords. In other words, it’s wonderfully written.

All the life’s experiences are woven into a web that bewitch us all. Love, care, falling apart, hurt, betrayal, inner peace, all these elements are beautifully sketched. The language is lucid and the poem comes in both English and Hindi. The readers find themselves fallen for the book before you realise it! The gift of ‘life’ seems to closer to the readers. The pain is felt, and so is the euphoria. The adventure sends shivers down our spine, so do the tears. Everything comes to life. The freshness is renewed.

Some of the enchanting lines from her poem are “The rain will make my night”, “I have been longing to be called mine”, “The inception is palpable”! The sudden surge of power is felt moving throughout the body. The author at a tender age has one-of-a-kind experiences. One just can’t stop enjoying.

Overall Rating: 4/5
