This collection of poems by Kazakh poet Yerzhan Zhumagulov is incredibly personal yet welcoming and accessible to all those who are fortunate enough to dip into its pages. Zhumagulov is a modest person and in conversation betrays a winning surprise that others might appreciate his poems. Indeed, he never set out to become a poet but finds himself one because friends and colleagues encouraged him to write more and then to translate his work for a wider audience. The observations of life in these lines strike a chord with us all. They demonstrate the author's skill of capturing manifold detail in an apt and succinct selection of words. Zhumagulov displays the magician's touch, presenting a vast array of emotions, descriptions and thoughts in short lines, all of which roll from the tongue.
