Review of "Thirty times I felt like a human" by Arani Acharjee

This collection takes you on a journey from adolescence into adulthood, and - the after. -
This is very well executed; in the first few pieces the perspective is filled with wonder and questions, this changes through the course of this thirty-piece journey as the speaker grows into adulthood and gains experience.
So many beautiful lines stood out to me, especially:
• "My beloved cocoon, I’ve outgrown your
love" (My Beloved Cocoon) and
• "To me, old age is an apple tree" (I Am Fine)
I hope to read more of Arani's poetry collections in the future!
