Reviews: 'One of the fundamentals of poetry is the sensitivity of the poet to those things in life which are taken for granted or ignored - either through ignorance or choice. The latter course is adopted by those who do not want to disturb the evenness of their lives by taking on challenges. This refusal to see the bigger picture aids and abets tyranny in one form or another. It is said that if good people remain silent in the face of evil, they become complicit. The poet is not, however, a propagandist or a teacher. She uses words to open windows to both the great beauty and the great ugliness that co-exist in the world. This collection of poems spring from just such an attitude. Ramanjulu is one of those sensitive souls who baulks at the mundane and attempts to probe the mysteries of life at all levels. Her collection is therefore a most welcome contribution.' 'An in-depth, soul searching rendition of poetry. Positively upbeat, thought provoking and extremely motivating....' 'I can't put the book down' 'This is me, can I read my favourite poem to you' 'WOW, this is my life in a book' 'Only a brave person can put on paper deep emotion without fear of being judged' 'This is a very professionally presented book' 'A woman of substance is rare and far between. It is a refreshing change to witness and enjoy a book similar to the woman: full of substance and with a deep sense of reflection. A thought provoking introspection.' '..I thank God for giving you the strength, courage and tenacity to forge ahead and weave the tapestry of your life into a marvellous masterpiece....' 'An inspiring and thought provoking tale of poetry which allows the mind to grasp the reality of everyday existence. Excellent way in which the author has told her story of love, life and the joy of just being. Her poetry makes someone stand up straight to listen and take heed.
