What a beautiful collection of poems!
I was impressed by this collection of poems. The way that the author has written the poems in a way that everyone can imagine.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
From the inside is a beautiful collection of poems about the inner soul of a young poet at different times and types of emotions in life. Each poem is easily relatable to and written in easy to understand and read wording.
These poems were beautifully written by a ten year old poet with great feeling and attention to life around us and relating to us as adults reading this book.
To accompany the poems there are lovely illustrations too which was an added beautiful touch.
Definitely worth a read!

I recently read a collection of poetry offered for review via NetGalley. I was drawn to the description of From the Inside: The Inner Soul of a Young Poet and decided to take a chance on it. I hadn't realized when I accepted the book for review that the author, Thanvi Voruganti, is ten years old, the same age as my daughter. It would not have made a difference in my saying yes or no to the collection, but it did influence my reading, I imagine.
It is clear Thanvi has a passion for writing poetry--and she is very talented. She has a way with words and a gift for putting to paper her thoughts and feelings. Her words are those of a child but speak to all ages. It is easy to forget she is so young.
I found her poems very relatable. They are mostly centered around the pandemic. They are uplifting and heartfelt. She touches on such emotions as grief and loss as well as hope. She writes about taking pleasure in nature and finding joy in the little things, as well as about the isolation and sadness.

From the Inside is a gorgeous collection of new poems from a young and very talented poet. Everything fit well together and you could tell the thoughts were genuine and well thought out. I was genuinely touched and impressed with this collection.
Thank you to netgalley and Thanvi Voruganti for the opportunity to read and review this collection.

A beautiful selection of poetry from an extremely talented young poet. Voruganti touches on many childlike feelings that are relatable to all, particularly in the current season of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Very well written book. Could relate heavily to the emotions that were being written about and could imagine everything clearly in my head like I was there while everything was happening.

I found the poems too long that it lost its charm. Something about these poems just didn’t speak to me.

First and foremost, thanks to NetGalley for giving me a copy of this collection in return for a review.
I was really impressed by this collection of poems, and the fact that it was written by someone so young is even more impressive. With many poetry books, I feel like there is a lot of filler and short thoughts thrown on paper without further exploration. However, with this collection, I felt like all the ideas were well thought out. Many followed a generic rhyme scheme, and for some of the poems, I believe there could have been some alterations to improve effectiveness, but as a whole, I am really impressed.
All in all, I felt like this is a well-developed collection that explores a wide variety of themes.
