Review of Shitolian
[Following is a volunteer review of "Shitolian" by O Persaud.]
Poetry is one of the ways that people communicate their worries and dissatisfactions, and this is what O Persaud does in his poetry compilation Shitolian. The work is divided into four parts. The first section contains 14 poems about racism in which he contrasts two racial groups, whites and blacks, concentrating on racial inequalities in which blacks are disadvantaged. Persaud's writings demonstrate that he belongs to the disadvantaged group. The second section contains 18 poems about God. He also addresses essential life values, with a focus on patience. This section also addresses the devil's tactic of deceiving humanity. Part three contains ten poems about animals and insects. Persaud uses animals to illustrate human traits here. The final section includes fourteen poems about quotation marks. It is the most amusing and is also the section with the most profanity.
One of the things that impressed me about this book was how simple it was to grasp. The wording was easy to understand, and the author's points were clearly communicated. I also liked how the author used animals and insects to show human characteristics, further streamlining the poetry. I didn't comprehend the book's title at first. However, the author separated it into meaningful words towards the end, and I finally understood it. Persaud also did a good job organizing the work. He divided it into four primary sections, each with poems addressing a common theme. The book is also factual; it addresses significant problems in society. Indeed, racism is one of the world's most serious social problems and is one of the subjects covered in the book. I took several critical lessons from the text, such as that worrying about our issues will not solve them. Instead, we should focus on fixing them. The book was amusing, particularly the last section, which delighted me and made me feel more connected to the author's points. Another aspect of the author that struck me was his courage in expressing social issues. He dedicates part of the book's final section to Mr Trump, who was most likely the president of the United States at the time, informing him about his tragedy and that of other Americans.
I never had a problem with this book. I would have complained about the profanity, but the author had already cautioned readers.
The novel only had positives for me, and there was nothing I didn't like about it. It was also exceptionally well edited, with no grammatical errors. As a result, I give it five out of five stars.
Because this book is a collection of poems, I suggest it to anyone who enjoys poetry. I also recommend that those who want to advocate for human rights read it.
