The Fragment from my Dreams
The Fragment from my Dreams is a collection of poetry and short stories, which follows the genre of modernism and post-modernistic understanding of literature, characterized by broad skepticism, subjectivism, or relativism; a general suspicion of reason; and an acute sensitivity to the role of ideology. The understanding of poetry has a very significant scope to explain the genre.

“If the rape of a prostitute is justified, why isn’t the murder of a butcher?”
Strong , powerful yet simple and lucid , The Fragment from my Dreams is a collection of scores of poetry and short stories.The Fragment from my Dreams explains the sentiments devoted to death, heartbreak, understanding one’s sexuality and freedom of owning their views. One needs to have a strong understanding of words and emotions in order to understand and appreciate this book of poems.
This book consoled me – it taught me that I do need to take care of myself at times. Everything else – everyone else will vapourise but what matters the most is self-love and self-esteem.
The theme may seem repetitive at times but the use of impactful words made it very consistent in quality and made me fall in love with my being.
“You have the voice, you have the guts. Step more a little, stop that thought
Show me some skin, embrace your colour You are more than flesh and blood… In the realistic end, nothing matters Why are you hurting yourself, whom to flatter?”
This book portrays different aspects of love: the trust β the lust β the delight – the gist. It gives an all new dimension to the same old love.
“So darling, here the question will you trade the smooth silk road through the shades trees with the sides lines of sunflower garden for the bump road with crossovers and sideline of Liacas? Will you?”
If you want to read some meaningful poetry with lessons to learn , you can check this book out!

“I wasn’t broken;
I was rearranging my heart.” – Sonai Tiwary, The Fragment from My Dreams
The Fragment from My Dreams by Sonai Tiwary is a collection of poems and a couple of short stories, all stemming from certain heavy themes. These themes include heartbreak, self conflict, depression, rejection, justice, death, and such. Coming from a very personal place, you can see the author’s emotions through her words. The poetry follows the genre of modernism and post-modernistic understanding of literature. The poems are lyrical yet loud and bold.
However, I did struggle to connect with the poems throughout since dark poetry is not my thing. The themes weren’t something that I could personally relate to on such an intense level, which I felt played a part in me not being able to get a grip on the poetry. The writing, especially in the short stories, wasn’t my favorite.
With that said, if dark poetry tackling heavy themes speaks to you, you might want to check it out because the author does pen down topics that are more common than we’d think.

The fragment from my dreams is a collection of poems written on various subjects that surround us. Each poem accompanies a picture/doodle which soothes the reader. The poems are diverse and have a good sense of gripping in them. The reader is bound to be gripped in the depth of the lines.
One such line is written in the book is as follows :-
ππ³πΆπΎπ¬πΉπΊ π°π πππ ππ ππππππππ πππππ πππππ ππ πππ πππ ππ ππππππππππ, ππ πππππππ πππππππ ππππππ πππ ππππππ πππππ ππππ πππ πππππ πππ πππππ ππ πππππ ππππ ππππππ, πππππ ππππ ππππ
I loved how a flower is described. A flower is different from us, people. We run away from abandonment while flowers embrace abandoned houses and people alike.
β’The poems are written in an easy and coherent manner. Somebody who wants to get into poetry can definitely read this one.
β’The poems have a deep meaning assigned to them. Each line, each verse will make you ponder on things you haven’t noticed before.
β’The book is a compilation of various thoughts and opinions which are necessary to inculcate.
I enjoyed the book. Recommend it.

THE FRAGMENT FROM MY DREAMS is a Collection of 2 short stories and rest are poetries which follows genre of modernization and post mordernization period.
π€ Themes :- Basically the poetries and short stories are about about heartbreak , healings , sexuality , justice , self worth , freedom and death .
They are combination of starting with simple to complex matters and are inspiring and intriguing β£οΈ
π€ The cover of the book is really pretty π
The book brings upon many issues and make a reader go through many emotions at one go .
π€ The poetries were quite long which made me lose interest at some point.
The language is lucid and each poetry tends to have a valuable motive besides it.
π€ The poetries were based on author’s life experiences that was clearly visible.
The short stories were interesting but i didn’t get the point of including short stories in the book.
Anyways, overall it was a good read β¨

This book is a collection of poetry and quotes, intended to light a spark of hope in the readers’ hearts.
So, I didn’t like this book and it was a chore to get though. I would’ve DNFed it after the first poem if it hadn’t been for the promise I made for this review.
The Goodreads description of this book does mention that the author has been through depression and that he hopes this book helps the readers get through tough times and I really appreciate that. I understand this book was written with a good heart but that doesn’t change the fact that I disliked it.
I feel like some of the poems (and quotes) are trying so hard to be deep and meaningful but it just can’t get through the lines. I get what the author was trying to say mostly but the execution is very poorly done.
The quotes, mostly, are just generic, surface level sentences written with several words capitalized for emphasis that they didn’t need, which just made it uncomfortable to read. Here are a few examples, word to word:
βSARCASM,
Is not REMARKABLE but RELATABLE,
That’s all LIFE throws at some of us,
For the REST,
Well, some MOCKS and some gets MOCKEDβ
βMy heart’s beating fast,
and for the first time,
It’s not in pain…β
βI’m not SCARED to look under my bed anymore,
I’ve TRICKED my mind into not playing TRICKS on me…β
Yep. They sound more like instagram captions, or random tweets, not lines from the final draft of a poetry collection.
The grammar and punctuation are also incorrect on every other page, and even poetic license can’t help pass them as okay. It was kinda hard for me to concentrate on a poem itself because of the wording and mediocre structure of the lines.
All in all, I found this book bad. I wouldn’t recommend it. But if you can look past all the grammatical and punctuational errors, found the quotes not-so-bad and are looking for some poems about hope, then sure, you might like it after all.
