Scattered Constellations: A Poetry Collection Kindle Edition

by Ankita Singh (Author), Pravallika Manju (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 36 ratings
*An Amazon Bestseller*

Words tumble out, with no pause;
From the pen, my anelace,
That I hold so graciously,
(In awe of its majesty, its power)
In my hand.

They form thoughts, hopes and musings;
Reflect my soul, my entire being,
And spread across the page,
Like scattered constellations
Across the sky.

(Scattered Constellations is a YA Free Verse Poetry collection.)

PRAISE FOR SCATTERED CONSTELLATIONS:

Ankita’s poetry is so well versed that you feel everything her words speak. From warm and fuzzy to ice cold, this is a book you will not want to put down!
-Sarah Kenney, Author of The Devil's Curse Novels.

Dark and beautifully heartrending in some places, Ankita's Scattered Constellations weaves a story that most people will experience in their lives but will never be able to fully explain using words. Ankita captures those feelings that can live within everyone, using her beautiful prose and magnificent flare as a fantastic storytelling tool. Surely a book of poetry that belongs on your bookshelf!
-K.G. Reuss, Author of The Emissary of The Devil Series.

Ankita's Scattered Constellations is a beautiful collection of short poems whose breadth of topics and ideas will captivate you. There's something for everyone. I was in love with this book and Ankita's words from cover to cover, and I know you will be too.
-Magnolia Robbins, Author of Forbidden Melody.

Wonderfully written and beautifully expressed, Scattered Constellations is at times heartwarming and at times heartbreaking. From the deep-seated sadness of "Gold" to the bittersweet "End," this collection of poems is sure to stir up emotions and get you thinking!
-Genevieve I. Eldredge, Author of the Circuit Fae Series.

Scattered Constellations made me think of W.B. Yeats’ ‘tread softly for you tread on my dreams’ because Ankita Singh explores so vividly how love is the stuff of dreams, of the mind and soul as well as the heart. She doesn’t use elaborate language or self-consciously literary techniques in presenting her poems so that they feel real, true and authentic. I think Ankita Singh is a very perceptive and talented young post and definitely one to watch.
-Linda Hill, Blogger at Linda’s Book Bag.

    3.5 It's always really hard to review poetry books because a lot of the time it comes from the the heart, or are their personal feelings. Not all were well written, and I know that poetry doesn't need to rhyme, I feel like it at least needs to have the same flow throughout the poem. There were a few that seemed inconsistent.

    The entire book is about love and broken hearts. And what I assume to be personal experiences.

    Reading the thoughts of another is a powerful feeling to have, it allows you the chance to become part of a person’s world that you may never physically know. That is what poetry is to me.

    I believe the Singh beautifully demonstrated her world for the world in quick short poems that then became gathered to form Scattered Constellations.

    Unfortunately for me the words seemed at times to be more of ramblings as oppose to being poetry. And yes I do understand that it is in the form of Free Verse.

    I enjoyed more than a few of the poems. And I think this is a great debut to introduce herself. I just wished it was more polished. The poems range in order from love, self discovery, praises for a loved won, to brokenness. It was an up and down roller coaster of feelings. Maybe that is what Ankita intended. Maybe they were placed in an order to symbolize the chronological events of her life. I’m not really sure.

    Scattered Constellations is a beautiful poetry collection by Ankita. It is very relatable. Although I did have some trouble with feeling the emotions in the beginning, that feeling was completely flipped by the end. I’m excited to see what else Ankita has in store.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2018
    With bittersweet words, Singh weaves a web filled with longing and beauty. She was able to capture the feelings people experience but are unable to put into words. Her beautiful prose and intricate insight leaves the reader breathless. Scattered Constellations is truly a work of art and belongs on your bookshelf.

    I got this on KU, and it's absolutely amazing. At 18, Ankita has a lot of wisdom; even for me, at 26, I could relate to a lot of the poems! It's a short read, beautifully written, and incredibly relatable. I highly recommend!

    Reviewed in India on December 4, 2018

    Scattered Constellations is a poetry book by Ankita Singh. The poems were about friendship, love, heartbreak, and emotions which author tried to relate it our daily lives. Some of the poems I loved the most were, Bigots, Love, Colour, It wasn't just sadness, Trophy Girl, and Make my world. I just felt like some poems were written with own emotions of the author. Well and good to say it was an nice attempt to write this book.

    Ending my honest feedback with beautiful lines in the book-

    For me 2018 is the year I try more poetry so when Ankita asked our New Bloggers group whether anyone would like read and review her upcoming collection I decided I could help out too.

    I did really enjoy the collection because a good handful of them invoked a lot of emotions.

    Many of the poems deal with someone struggling with relationships, accepting themselves, and a love they deserve.

    Its an emotional read. The few poems I just shared are some great examples of this as they resonate dealing with abuse.

    However I did have a lot of trouble following the book as a whole because I felt it needed a finale editing phase to have a more flowing path of the emotions explored.

    The way the poems were organised meant we were going back and forth between positive and negative emotional responses from the poems and this caused a very disjointed experience for myself.

    I think pairing all the similar poems together would’ve produced a stronger response of what they were aiming to make you feel.

    The collection is currently part of the kindle unlimited so I definitely think its worth checking out if you have access to that!

    Scattered Constellation by Ankita Singh is a collection of beautiful verses. With simple words and impeccable heart, the young poetess writes about love, desire, reveries and much more. The things we experience and the emotions we feel cannot be better described than the words used by the author herself. Her poems are filled with love and admiration towards the subject with the lack of any pride or pretension, elucidating the appreciation for the individuals rather than all the decorations that adorns them. Also, the poetess involve the excruciating yearning in her lines that we all have experienced at least once in our lifetime.

    “I know you will be gone
    Sooner than the arrival of dawn,
    Yet my heart yearns, for some moments more.”
    So, for a light read of words this summer, do try to check this book out!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Review for SCATTERED CONSTELLATIONS
    Reviewed in India on August 28, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Scattered Constellations was a great read firstly. It is a poetry book following the common free verse pattern nowadays. Ankita Singh has done a good job with this book.
    Scattered Constellations contains poetry on a vast number of themes such as love- romantic, familial as well as platonic; friendship, family, appearances in terms of racial distinctions etc. I found them really eye opening.
    The book was also very finely edited and proofread, as I hardly noticed any errors. The whole format was pretty nice in the ARC but I am eager to see how the actual paperback turns out. I think that this book makes a good gift- the poems are bound to touch every other reader.
    My personal favourites in this collection are quite a few, some of which are Tell Me, Taboo, Our Kinda Love, Colour, It Wasn’t Just Sadness, Sisters, Trophy Girl etc. I enjoyed the book and it took me less than a day as I read and stopped to think, and then resumed, again and again.
    I rate it a 4/5 stars as I wait for the paperback to come out.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A smashing exploration of love - of all kinds, for all readers
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2018

    A collection of poetry looking at all aspects of love.

    I really enjoyed reading Ankita Singh’s collection Scattered Constellations and all the way through I kept thinking ‘Oh, that’s exactly how I used to feel when I was a young woman’ or ‘I would have been so helped by these poems when I was struggling with the concept of love as a teenager,’ without actually realising until afterwards that I was reading an anthology aimed at the Young Adult (YA) market! I think this goes to show what an excellent collection this is for readers aged 15-25.

    Ankita Singh explores all kinds of love in her poems. There is everything from burgeoning sensuality to familial, same sex, unrequited, mutual, controlling and prevented love so that there really is a poem for everyone between the pages of Scattered Constellations. I found the poems Gold and Colour especially poignant because sadly we still live in a world where the hue of someone’s skin can affect every aspect of their life – even love.

    Scattered Constellations made me think of W.B. Yeats’ ‘tread softly for you tread on my dreams’ because Ankita Singh explores so vividly how love is the stuff of dreams, of the mind and soul as well as the heart. She doesn’t use elaborate language or self-consciously literary techniques in presenting her poems so that they feel real, true and authentic. I think Ankita Singh is a very perceptive and talented young post and definitely one to watch.

    Scattered Constellations is well worth dipping into as I’m sure you’ll find a poem that tells your story too.
