When I Hear 'Shakespeare' by Laleeta Tongo | Book Review
"When I Hear 'Shakespeare'" by Laleeta Tongo is a collection of magical poems filled with raw emotions and comforting vibes. As the title suggests, this book is a celebration of the works of legendary poets of all generations – Shakespeare.
Every poem is full of real feelings, and the poet has shown how she came to love English literature and how deeply she felt after reading Shakespeare's works as a child. The poetess's lifelong love and admiration for William Shakespeare, one of literature's greatest icons, can be seen in this collection of poems.
She, like many readers, values the weight of Shakespeare's verses, which forever embrace people and immortalise them. The cover design is simple and effectively conveys the essence of the book. However, I feel that a little more effort could have gone into its design, especially since the pages inside are absolutely stunning and beautifully crafted!
The poems combine raw emotions with lyrical poetry. The poet's love for Shakespeare and English literature is expressed in the poems. I loved how the author linked Shakespeare's phrases to her poems. Even though all of the poems are good, some of my favourites were "Questioning Shakespeare", "Writer's Journey", "Remembering Her in Shakespeare's Words", "Metamorphosis", and "Not Digitally, But Really Yours".
Overall, "When I Hear 'Shakespeare" is a collection of deeply meaningful poetry that will stay with you for a long time.
