Book Review 39: Unlocked Silences by Mukhpreet Khurana.




'Unlocked Silences' by Mukhpreet Khurana is an anthology of beautifully written abstracts, poems and excerpts, which are heartfelt and emotional.  Each one of them has positive vibes and has the capacity to captivate the readers. The black minimalistic cover of the book is as beautiful as the poems are.

Each one of the poems is relatable and some are deep and insightful. The poems are not very long and it did not take me a very long time to complete reading this book.

All the poems and abstracts are written in a lucid language which makes it easier for the readers to read and understand them.

My favourite piece from the collection is 'Life is Beautiful'. It has a positive vibe in it which I absolutely loved. 'If Everyone Cared' is another poem which I really liked.

Altogether, this book was a nice read. If you are a poetry lover, this book is for you. 


About the author :  Mukhpreet Khurana has been fond of literature, poetry and prose for a very long time. Being a coffee lover, you won’t be surprised to find him in a coffee shop sipping his cuppa with a journal on the table. A budding entrepreneur, he finds his interests in networking and socializing. He is a hobbyist photographer who enjoys taking long walks through any garden that comes his way. His taste in music scales towards the unmatchable power in Kirtan, in instrumentals and to the likes of Coke Studio and Sufi music.
