'Glass and Gravel' by Nick Calder [BOOK REVIEW]

Thank you to the author Nick Calder and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.  

Glass and Gravel is a compilation of poems that depict trauma, grief, and pain. 

The author presents each poem in its own unique way – each having a different composition and design. 

The poems picture a stark, raw illusion of the world accompanied with black and white illustrations that help convey the essence of the work.  

Even though some parts kind of confused me a bit, I did find this book so well written with rich structures and perfectly well-crafted human emotions and experiences.  

I loved this book of poems and I’d for sure read it again in the future. This first read was such an experience and I can’t bear to find more words to express how much I liked it. It’s a short book, though you need to take the time to take in the poem itself, to enjoy it and to read it properly, to experience it.  

It was published on the 1st August this year so I’d highly recommend you to go check it out and read it!
