I got an epub of this book as a Review Copy from the author.*****
Regular Porridge is a short, decent collection of poems. While the content starts very strongly, with
powerful emotions being put forward in the harshest forms, the narrative quickly dwindles down. The initial poems on war and life are prose, each one telling a compelling story, or at least a part of it. 'Chottu' and 'Twinkle's Gone' were the other two pieces that held my attention.
However, post Life's Medley, I quickly lost interest. The number of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes also multiplied significantly, contributing to the loss of interest.
The content is good but deserves to be polished. There are some interesting pieces and concepts in there, but they are hidden by the lack of general proofreading which, for me at least, is highly distracting.
Recommended one time, but you could wait for the edited edition to enjoy it more.
