The Allegory of
Endearment is an anthology of poems which are the outcome of the Author’s
world. It expresses the role of a believer, the aspiration of a lover, and the
purpose of life. This work talks about the dimensions of the physical and the
meta-physical world. In this book, the aspects of love, faith, charity,
altruism, deceit, perseverance and mythology has been dealt with.
It is the work of
perseverance of the inner voice. It conveys the irrationality in today’s world,
propagates the virtue of morality, and throws light on the rudimentary
principles of survival and death. This book is the mirror of knowledge.
It is the creation that also talks about self-governance, the virtue of evolution and the description of living. This text has the layers of the fictional realm which dictates about the attributes of hope, courage, affection, and mortality.
This work throws light upon the value of education and the damages caused by anti-social beings.
It is the interpretation of realism and at the same time deciphers the fictitious code of love and conviction"

Review:
A collection of 72
poems, the book deals with multiple subjects as mentioned in the blurb. Some
poems in the anthology are good but most of them did not work for me for multiple
reasons. There are grammatical mistakes in the book, which cannot be passed off
as poetic liberty. Apart from some of the poems, the general mood of the book
is that of sadness. There are certain poems where connecting to the theme is
difficult as well and, in some poems, a symmetry or a rhyme is missing which
makes it a seem like a prose written in disjointed sentences. The editing of
the book could have been crisper as well because there are multiple places
where double blanks are present.
As this is the first
work by the author, I am sure we will see some good works come from him in the
future. Some of the poems in the book do show good promise.
I would rate the
book 2.5/5.
