Customer Review –
I won this copy in a recent giveaway from @sunbehindcloud. It was a nice change to read a collection of poems as its not the usual genre I read. “Who Am I” is a selection of reflective poems by Fatema Valji. These poems turn inwards searching for meaning by looking at everyday life and interactions as different pieces of the puzzle of life and how it can all come together for us to reach our quest for the sublime. Its about digging deeper, peeling all the layers, looking at the world for what it really is, a temporary abode, to open up the eyes of the heart ‘If I truly empty and open my heart, only for Him, All strength, peace, and joy will surely flood in’ I really enjoyed this collection, it has definitely sparked a few conversations! The poem ‘My shadow really speaks to me in my current phase of life. Highly recommend it
