Puppet by Murtaza Ali

As an American writer, I was interested to read this poetry collection by an Indie Author in Pakistan.  I was intrigued to see how someone of a different culture approached poetry and language.  I was pleased with the outcome.

Although some of the phrasing was cumbersome, probably due to the challenges of translation, I enjoyed the concepts and vocabulary in this book.  There were many themes on love, perspective, solitude, and relationships that were easy to understand and lovely to experience.  It is clear that this writer has a thoughtful mind and a vibrant imagination. 

If you are interested in how someone from another culture contemplates life through the written word, this book would be a good choice.
