Review of Shitolian
[Following is a volunteer review of "Shitolian" by O Persaud.]
O Persaud's poetry collection Shitolian is a magnificent collection of perceptive, inspiring, and thought-provoking poems. In this unique book, the author expresses his deepest emotions and ideas on a variety of vital issues facing the world today, such as racial prejudice, slavery, politics, punctuation, punctuation conventions, and much more. The influence of common virtues on our lives is also covered in the book, including compassion, love, and patience among many others. This poem serves as the author's vehicle for expressing his feelings, thoughts, and concerns over certain events.
The book starts with the author comparing himself to a bird that sings cautionary songs for humans. He expresses displeasure over the persistent racial injustice in the country and calls on the people to do something about it because all people are one. According to the author, they have done them wrong by allowing their skin colour to separate and distinguish them. He still makes a point to his audience even while he writes about these punctuation marks. In a section on punctuation, he also expresses his irritation with the excessive use of punctuation marks. This is clear because he didn't use these punctuation marks when he penned this book. He still makes a point to his audience even while he writes about these punctuation marks.
Not only that, but the author also draws our attention to delicate and important issues like the persistent prejudice towards black people and how it still has an impact on us today. In poems such as "Black and White Drinking Fountains" and "Black," these systemic issues are discussed. The author also emphasizes God's final word in our destiny. The poet claims in the poem "Who Created It" that God is the one who "humbles us when our heads get bigger than His."
There were many commendable qualities and positive aspects to this book. In line with the sensitive topics handled in this piece, the author's word choice was appropriate. The author uses clear, grave language to communicate his burden and his affection for his country. When he writes on such delicate themes, it is helpful to feel the author's weight. It will be easy for many readers of this book to identify with the author's wrath and the sense of injustice that permeates many of the poems in it.
Nothing in the book bothered me in any way.
I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because the book was well-written and covered sensitive topics. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free, even with the lack of punctuation marks. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys poetry and to individuals who resist racial prejudice, like the author. Adults of all ages will find this book intriguing as well.
