Noor Unnahar is a young female voice with power and depth. The Pakistani poet's moving, personal work collects and makes sense of the phases of collapsing and rebuilding one's self on the treacherous modern path from teenager to adult. Tinged with the heartbreak of a broken home and the complexity of a rich cultural background, yesterday i was the moon stands out from the Insta-poetry crowd as a collection worth keeping. yesterday i was the moon centers around themes of love and emotional loss, the catharsis of creating art, and the struggle to find one's voice. Noor's poetry ranges from succinct universal truths to flowery prose exploring her heritage, what it means to find a physical and emotional home, and the intimate and painful dance of self-discovery. Her poetry and art have already inspired thousands of fans on Instagram to engage with her words through visual journal entries and posts of their own, and her fan base only continues to grow. Review: Review - "Yesterday I Was the Moon" is a poetic masterpiece that takes readers on a profound journey through the ever-changing landscape of emotions and self-discovery. The author's words are like constellations in the night sky, each poem a starburst of insight and reflection. With evocative imagery and lyrical prose, this collection explores themes of love, loss, and transformation, leaving an indelible mark on the reader's soul. The book's ability to capture the essence of fleeting moments and the essence of the human experience is truly remarkable. It's a must-read for anyone who appreciates the beauty of language and the power of poetry. Review: Must buy for poetry lovers - The book came before estimated delivery and was packed perfectly.

It is a beautiful book which deserves more recognition!
Writing: 5/5 Originality: 5/5 Style: 5/5 yesterday — i was the moon today — just an eclipse something in me travels; some days it’s to the dark some days it’s to the light” yesterday i was the moon is a collection of poetry written by Noor Unnahar, a Pakistani author. This book explores a variety of themes including art, people, home, courage, self-love, strength, culture, acceptance and survival. The actual layout of the book was stunning. There were the beautiful poems paired with incredible black and white photographs. This made the book feel more personal and almost like a journal. The poems themselves resulted in me feeling speechless and in complete awe. I could read this book over and over again simply due to its beauty and how emotional these poems are. “in pieces yet at peace i am a building in a post war city” These poems made me want to go and do something and not simply waste life. These poems give hope and strength for the future and this is expressed in the words used. The writing is simplistic yet effective. I felt like I could connect with the words instead of feeling overwhelmed by heavy descriptions. “i carry the stories the sadness the victories of people before me i'm both a monument and a future skyscraper rising from the same skeleton” The poems are in lowercase letters which I personally enjoyed. I felt like this simple and basic style made the poems easy to read and take in. “i want stars, strength, and balance in my soul it's been a while since they were last together in me” “you are the peace after wars the calm after storms and everything insanely beautiful that shapes after a tragedy” It is incredible and commendable to see how Noor Unnahar was able to express her life in a few simple words. As a reader, I was able to connect and relate to the poems. She was honest and showed no shame in showing who she was. “next time i’m asked about my confidence that glimmers and whether it’s there in me because the men of my family were too liberal then i will tell them one thing the men weren’t there when i was growing up but women they walk with grace and fire dances with their cooking pans their words are loud and eyes even louder; woven with intelligence and history the women in my family are shaped with glass and love wrapped in silk they teach their kids to speak with kindness and firmness so when they speak they do so without hesitation” I would recommend this book and I hope everyone takes a chance to read it. It is a beautiful book which deserves more recognition! I will definitely be reading it again and referring back to it!

There was a time in my life when I wanted to relinquish everything. Like everyone, I've also made mistakes, and everyday I have to face the repercussions. This book riveted me, and gradually helped me to revamp. This book helped me to look at my sombre past differently. The wide array of poems in this book is truly ruminating and helped me a lot to go through a state of emotional turmoil. It's feels like a part of ME is being restituted .

Good but doesn't stand out.
I like the book overall, the quality the poems inside..but from all my previous intensive reading, it doesn't stand out as much. It's definitely a really good suggestion if you've just started getting into poetry, this can get you started easy and fast...but for people who already are experienced reading poetry, this wouldn't really stand out.. you'd even finish it in a day or two.

A stunning collection of art!
A beautiful collection of poetry and a thoughtful insight into the art journals that have made Noor Unnahar a popular and well loved figure on social media and rightly so. I have been an avid fan of her work from Tumblr to Instagram and to have her poetry in book form is such a delightful treat. Yesterday I Was the Moon is like listening to a dear friend or reading your inner most thoughts come to life on paper. Her words and images are intimate and welcoming and there is something for everyone to take away; she expresses her thoughts of her faith, her passions, her immense sense of pride of her homeland - thoughts and feeling that we can all relate to. Definitely add this to your collection of poetry anthologies. You will not be disappointed!

The book manufacturing is poor
The book pages improper. They are not aligned. They haven’t cut out the edges of pages so looks like all the pages are falling out. The content of the book is nice..
