Forbidden is a collection of poetry full of humor, wit, and meditation upon all topics from love, places, to philosophy and the classics. In this collection, the slow-moving and deliberately sensual verse leads to vivid imagery touching both the heart and the soul. Patel also includes a medley of delightful nuggets from past poets interwoven within her own poems of today to seamlessly form a collection that reads briskly as one moving heartfelt piece.
