Micro review: 'The Nord' by Neethu Mohan

Highlights











Banking professional Neethu Mohan recently published her debut book ‘The Nord’. Nord is an old French term which means 'North' or 'True North'. ‘The Nord’ is an anthology of poems and is all about discovering the ‘True North’ in one's life.

Life is uncertain and we sometimes find ourselves in the midst of the confusion- where to head towards now? When the direction of life is unclear, we all need our internal compass to guide us in the right direction. In ‘The Nord’, Mohan talks about discovering one's direction and purpose of life. Poems like 'When Dreams Die', 'Semicolon of Life', 'The Journey of Life' among others not only talk about facing hurdles in life, but also about overcoming them and hope.

This is an inspiring read which motivates readers to build a better life. The poems make one realize their true potential and pursue their passion. Written in simple prose, poetry lovers can give this book a read.

How critics view the book:

Author Ravi Subramanian says, "The poems in Neethu Mohan's 'The Nord' are a joy to read. They are unfailingly positive and hope-inspiring. The poet's sense of wonderment as she looks at the world and life around her, is infectious. Her lines have a beguiling freshness too. Extremely comforting and energizing to read".

Dr. Brinda Bala Sreenivasan, poet, author and Head- Department of English & Foreign Languages at Cochin University of Science and Technology, says, "The quintessence of these poems is simplicity. Nord symbolizes positivity and the imagery is bright, often carrying a whiff of wild flowers. Neethu's diction embraces solitude like choir music heard from afar, slowly filling an entire valley."
