BOOK REVIEW :

“When Silence Roared” is a delicate yet resonant poetry collection shaped by solitude, travel, and emotional reckoning in the heart of Bhutan. From the very first poem, it becomes clear that silence here is not emptiness, it is presence. It breathes through valleys, echoes in monasteries, and settles quietly inside the reader.

Structured as a series of brief, single-page poems, the collection mirrors moments of stillness—short, unassuming, but deeply affecting. Each poem feels like a pause button pressed gently on a loud world. Noor’s writing does not rush toward conclusions or healing; instead, it sits patiently with ache, memory, and becoming. One aspect, I admire the restraint here, because restraint is difficult, and Noor handles it with maturity and confidence.

The poems move fluidly between place and emotion: sacred landscapes blend with personal grief, travel becomes introspection, and silence transforms into a mirror. There are poems that speak of distance, of unspoken words, of emotional fatigue, and of the quiet courage it takes to simply remain present. Titles referencing Bhutanese landmarks are not mere travel notes; they become emotional coordinates; each place holding a different shade of longing or acceptance.

What truly elevates this collection is its accessibility. The language is simple, almost conversational, yet never shallow. Noor understands that poetry does not need ornamentation to be powerful; it needs honesty. And this book is honest in a way that feels tender rather than performative.

“When Silence Roared” will resonate deeply with readers who:

• find comfort in quiet moments

• carry emotions they struggle to name

• believe poetry can heal without preaching

• crave softness in a harsh, hurried world
