Book Review: "Because You Matter" by Ankita Singh
"Because You Matter" is not just a collection of poetry—it’s a mirror held up to the human soul. Ankita Singh weaves together 21 deeply personal yet universally resonant poems that travel through the landscapes of passion, suppressed desires, perseverance, guilt, hope, and love. This book is a tribute to every individual who has ever dared to dream, hesitated to speak up, or silently carried the weight of their emotions.
Singh’s poetry speaks across generations, capturing the voice of a wandering mind entrapped in digital webs, the soul of a prisoner grappling with life’s cyclical demands, and the silent strength of a mother torn between career and care. She reminds us that freedom isn’t free—it’s a privilege to question and grow.
One of the most endearing pieces paints the image of a kitchen garden, symbolizing both domestic simplicity and blooming affection. Whether it’s a retiree finding joy in gardening or a hosteler learning patience through bland meals, each story is a metaphor for growth.
With elegant grace, she writes of love that transcends space and time, soulmates that part but remain eternally bonded, and the celebration of unity in diversity, where traditions may differ, but emotions remain the same.
Poems like “Money-Please Stay!” and “Lady- Can you be a Man?” are refreshingly relatable, grounding abstract emotions in everyday life. And in the end, the message is powerful and tender—“Love is enough.”
“Because You Matter” is for the passionate, the silent dreamers, the weary souls, and everyone in between. With each poem, Ankita Singh gently reminds us that we matter, that our stories deserve to be told, and that poetry still has the power to heal and inspire.
