A Roomful of Machines Kristine Ong Muslim Books
I received a free review copy of this book from the author.A Roomful of Machines is a poetry collection consisting of dark, detailed writing and tales of inanimate objects. In my relatively small experience with poetry, I haven’t read anything like this book, and I am left feeling so grateful that I was contacted to review it, as I think I’ve found a new favorite poet.
So many of these lines stuck out at me. I found myself reading the same poem two or three times a piece, just to get the full impact of the words. (And also for better comprehension, as poems can be tricky for me to read and understand the first time through.) And then I would reread some of them a couple more times after that, simply because poems are short and I loved the writing style.
Most of these centered around inanimate objects, which I think was a really unique take and a great opportunity for something different. Each poem felt so emotional and gripping, in a way that I don’t feel I could do justice in this review. (I’m really not used to reviewing poetry. This collection is also just really great.) The imagery was awesome, the way these everyday objects — a chair, a house, shoes — came to life and symbolized such powerful emotion and feeling just amazed me.
I can be quite picky when it comes to finding poetry I like, because so much of it is either too simplistic, or so complex that it goes over my head. This collection seemed to strike the perfect balance for me, personally, as I kind of knew it would when I read the two-poem sample on Kristine’s website. (I definitely recommend that anybody who is uncertain click that link and scroll to the bottom — the poems shown, Left Shoe and Right Shoe give a great idea of what to expect throughout the collection.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this collection to anyone who enjoys poetry and vivid, unique writing. I will definitely be checking out more of the author’s work in the future, and look forward to exploring her other work!

A Roomful of Machines Kristine Ong Muslim Books Reviews
Having reviewed later editions of this author's work it is of interest to look upon a reissue of her first collection. Hoping to get a glimpse of progress and development of their style.
Looking at this collection in comparison to her current is to be amazed by the consistency of excellence.
An almost scientific dissection of everyday objects is the nucleus that explodes creative description. One of the great difficulties with writing is that many common themes and ideas have been explored throughout the ages.
The power of being able to create, delight and bring thoughtful reflection is a good summary for this collection.
The title of each poem plays a strong part in being the background thought the reader places in their mind. Similar to a brainstorming session this releases a confetti of ideas/images to marvel at the simplicity of the original title.
Knowing the importance of a strong start to a poetry collection the wave of poems is almost too strong to take. You want to pause and reflect, but also are still keen to want to read more poems.
The poems towards the end display the author's signature macabre fascinations that will be fully explored in future work. Here they take a more narrative aspect and draw the reader into magical scenes.
If you have an appreciation of art and special talent then you must read this book and follow this author's continued excellence.
