Psychaotic is my debut Poetry Book.
It is the first of its kind here in Pakistan. I am Pakistan's first free verse Gothic Poet to be published Internationally.
*Psychaotic* is a word play of two words and two feeling. Psycho and Chaotic.
I believe that everyone has these sides and they choose whether or not to open or disclose that side with people or not.
Psychaotic reads you while you are reading it and it connects the inner most desires and feelings with the flow of words. I wanted to write all these thoughts on paper because I wanted to connect the reader to the people like him or her. There are so many people in this world who feel like the have lost everything and they cannot go on without someone but this, this book, it tells them that there is life after that. That they are not alone in that hurt and agony. I know and I understand what you are going through. This book is for the delusional, for the bipolar, for the insane and crazy people. It is for the introverts who swallow their anguish and hate and keep it locked inside their hearts. It is for the people who feel alone in a crowd of 1 million.
I am here to tell them, whatever hardships they suffered, whatever pain they felt, They are not the only ones. There are people like you. They are here to help you, to talk to you, to love you.
You are special.
Psychaotic is my mirror. You read this book, you'll know me.
If you read this book, and you connect with even one of it's words, do let me know.
This book is my prize. I want to reach out to everyone through this book
Remember: You're loved.

Happy Reading!

In this enticing debut collection, Irum Zahra gives us lyrical poems that seem to evolve straight from the heart. In her writing Irum talks about life, love and the hurt that accompanies human beings, and the anguishes a young woman often has to endure while traveling through life. The writings offered in the collection are evidence of the author's poetic strength and depth of expression.

Almost all the poems are enjoyable and it's hard to resist quoting lines that are examples of splendid poetry, like the ones below:

I speak, I cry, I read, I write,
I like, I hate, I scar, I bleed,
I drown, I feel, I run, I sing,
I say, I yell, I make, I break

"Psychaotic: See The World In Red" is sprinkled with many other gems like the above. Once you complete the book you realize Irum Zahra is a writer capable of delivering poetry which is passionate but does not disintegrate in cheap sentimentality. I highly recommend the collection, it's a must read for poetry lovers.

The false chapters

You say life is a book
When these quotes make no sense
You see, you can put a book aside
Change its cover, replace its papers
Reread the chapter you like
And skip the one you don’t
But you cannot do that with life
It pages are never forgotten
Or skipped
Instead every word in every chapter
Haunt you
Till you take your last breath.

Enigma
When I want to be in solitude
It’s not avoidance
It means that maybe
Life is too intricate for me
And it is confusing
Like a million questions
Asked at the same time
When I open a knot
It ties itself again
In so many different ways
And I have to start over
Let me try
To solve myself
On my own
Let me comprehend
Us
Let me see clear and free
In this circle of thought
With answer to my puzzle

Breath taking poetry collection of mixed types of poems and collection. Experience of differnet types and feelings that seems to change over a period of time. It will suerly target your mind and you will think upon the words and digest them.

This is the second book of poetry I picked up from the Goodreads 2015 Choice Award list.

I really didn't like this one. These poems are the reason I dislike poetry. This kind of thing I was writing in high school, being such a heavy, heavy, old soul *moan*

I see that most readers are enchanted by the book and I honestly cannot see why.

This poem for example:
I fall, I hurt, I cry
How can I possibly even try
to get back up
I always get stuck
Hanging onto our memories~

I made this sad piece of nothing up and this is how all the poems sound to me.

Like a Gregorian chant with a symphonic tone Irum Zahra, "Psychaotic: See the World in Red and Black is a sensational soul baring experience
a little dark and foreboding but each poem unique and inviting the reader into the depth of the soul. "Betrayal", "Me Through Me", and "Peace to My Storm" were a few of my favorites. This was an enchanting tribute to the expression of a beautiful soul.

Tales of Humanity

Click on Banner to Enter Giveaway

When authors share their work with the public, they are baring their hearts and imaginations to the scrutiny of public opinion. When a poet shares their work, their very soul is flayed open, their inner feelings are exposed and this very personal reveal is often too intense for most readers who fail to look beyond the printed words and to feel the atmosphere the author has created or the message they are sharing from the heart. You don’t need to agree, but look carefully. When the mystery of one poem is unlocked, the others seem to fall in place.

Psychaotic: See the World in Red and Black by Irum Zahra is not a sweet read filled with happy puppies and brilliant sunshine, but a dark look at humanity, emotions at their most raw, perhaps emotions the author is feeling, perhaps emotions all humanity feels at one time or the other. Ms. Zahra has dug deep and opened a well of thoughts that, if read with an open mind are true reflections of slices of life, dark realities, self-destructive behavior and opens an avenue to see that inner turmoil is not unique. I do not believe Ms. Zahra wishes to depress or shroud our individual outlook on life, but to merely point out one side or outlook that fills the soul with pain, thereby allowing us to take our own inventory and choose the path to any number of improvements, both within or in the world around us. If you see yourself or someone you know, even if only in a line or two, than you have understood the words on the page.

I found her style to be thought-provoking and I admit, it took me a few pages to grasp more than the words. Re-reading those pages was a different experience. If you have never felt the urge to read or have not found enjoyment in poetry, clipped prose, perhaps now is the time to take another look-one page at a time.

Review copy
I try to keep a safe distance from books to have an objective outlook, but with Psychaotic: See The World In Red And Black, it seemed impossible. These verses speak to you and for you. Every word, feeling and image sketches the chaos and the storms unfolding inside of minds and souls. It’s simply-worded, somberly expressed and profoundly articulate.

Enigma

…Life is too intricate for me
And it is confusing
Like a million questions
Asked at the same time
When I open a knot
It ties itself again…

A little too much

…Maybe I thought about you
Just a little too much
I had so many issues
But so did you.
I was egoistic
And so were you.
I was stubborn
Just as you…

Thank you Irum Zahra for the book and for giving Pakistan and the world this precious gem.

[James Hannibal · Rating 5 out of 5]

Psychaotic is a collection of predominantly dark poetry from a gifted writer. Irum Zahra creates exquisite imagery with an economy of words. With her melancholy tone — at times almost suicidal and at others overtly homicidal, usually in stream of consciousness style — her work is reminiscent of Edward Young of the eighteenth century Gothic poets. If Zahra’s work does not tug at the empathetic strings of your heart, you may have no heart at all. Five stars.

[Cait S · Rating 1 out of 5]

I literally almost never mark poetry as DNF. Even when it's bad I finish it. But this... ugh. It's just 124 pages of basically the exact same poem. There is no diversity or uniqueness or substance or anything at all in this book. Each page is exactly the same as the page before it and the page after it.

[W.R. Watkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Where to begin with this book?

Well, for starters: this book is brilliant.

It is a rarity for me to find a book that deals with complex issues, yet manages to execute those issues with a refreshing brutal honesty, soul, humour and vulnerability.

This, for me, perfectly sums up ‘Psychaotic’.

Ms Zahra has no trouble writing out her thoughts, and feelings, telling the reader exactly what she is feeling at the time of writing her poetry. And that is a very, very good thing! Not everyone wants to read about Daffodils…

She not only does this time and time again throughout the book, she also presents to us who she is as a human being, who has experienced love gained and lost (‘Look For Love’; ‘Remind Me’), dreams rising and falling (‘Perceptions’), self-harm (‘Drought’; ‘Roses On My Arms’; ‘Control’) and wonders about life around her (‘The False Chapters’; ‘Tomorrow Never Comes’; ‘Somewhere In A Graveyard’), talking about the mysteries of demise to the weather (‘Dear Rain,’; ‘Thunder).

On more than one occasion, she bares her soul to you, the reader. It is almost like you’re in a therapy session, with the reader as the therapist, and she is your patient (in the best kind of way!). Not only do these entries present her vulnerability (‘Petrified’; ‘The Crossroads’), but they also show her strength of character, who at one point switches from pining for her lost love (‘The Absurdity Of You’; ‘To Play A Broken Record’; ‘The Impossible Him’), to saying that it is now over for good (‘End Of Us’).

For me, the stand out poems in this book are the ones that directly reflect the writer, and her motivations for writing. One such example can be found in ‘A Way To Write’, where we meet the writer face-to-face, no mask, and learn about her motivations and inspirations for writing.

I have listed only a few of the poems that talk about the themes I have listed. There are so many stand-out poems in this book; I wish I could talk about them all! But then, that would spoil it for the next reader, so I won’t do that.

Some poets are content with hiding themselves behind complex metaphors, overuse of similes, and using other people’s names for their own personal gains. No such this will be found in ‘Psychaotic’.

This is ‘Psychaotic’, presenting Ms Irum Zahra, and her incredible writing talent, in Black and Red.

[Kiran Khan · Rating 5 out of 5]

“Me through me”

From lies to denial
To touch and feel
Myself that you steal
A bit of myself
You wrecked me

This is where it starts and then move through my heart with every turned page. .
The brainiest poets of English could somehow simplify their words and still make us go deep in our thoughts. Majority poets aim to achieve this task. Irum Zahra’s ambition in “Psychaotic” is incredible, but so is the fact that she delivered right on the spot.
“Psychaotic” is a collection of human feelings engulfed in poetic expressions. Each and every poem is relatable, disclosing a different shade of expression. While some of the poems remind me of my wounds, rejection others remind me of times when I was high on clouds of happiness. It explicates the journey from stampede and collapse to recognition leading to the ultimate peace of heart.
Tides of sanity, Spindles and Dream catchers felt like written for me.

Though Irum feels “More is always less”, I think less is more to applaud her efforts.

I read this book to give it an honest review. This is probably the 4 or 5th poetry book I've ever read in my life. I'm not a fan of poetry books because I don't think I have the skill to go into the deeper meaning of words and see what the poet is actually trying to say. Psychotic: See The World In Red And Black by Irum Zahra is a collection of enjoyable poems.

My favorites from the book: 'Misery Loves Company', 'Peace to My Storm', 'A Little Too Much', the lengthy 'Perceptions' and the short but sweet 'Pick and Choose'.

I applaud Irum Zahra for being so open to her readers and sharing such intimate thoughts. I guess that's what poets do, they lay their thoughts bare in front of the world, for it to judge. This is not an easy task. I don't know if it was just me but I found a lot of the poems (or perhaps all of them) to be sad and/or about yearning about something, possibly love, or perhaps the harsh reality of it? Who knows! I'm not a poet! But I do know one thing and it's that this was a very enjoyable collection of poems which I think other poets, or lovers of poetry will greatly appreciate.

I received a copy of this book from the author for reviewing.

"I wonder
If those talks matter
Few done in the clarity of day
Or the many
Done at 3 a.m. in the morning"
It's not often that I find someone who can express in words exactly what I've felt at some points of my life. "Psychaotic" isn't just a collection of poems - it's a collection of feelings, thoughts, emotions, illusions, and realities. It's complex and at the same time clear, and I believe, anyone could see their reflection between the lines of these poems. It didn't matter to me that they were dark; I like realism, and I like reading about raw feelings and see vulnerability mix with strength. If you like poetry, if you have ever been depressed and felt something so deep and dark you had trouble defining it - I think you'll find this book thought-provoking and refreshing. Recommended to all poetry readers.

[Hina Tabassum Khatri · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a 4.5

A copy was provided by the author for an honest review.

When I started it, I was not sure how the book will turn out to be because writing poetry is something another level completely.

That is where I must state that I was completely floored.

Irum Zahra, in you we, the poetry readers, have found a remarkable gift. Your words have a feel to them. They suck a person right in.

Now I am going to list down a few that I liked best in this collection.
- Spindles and Dream catchers
- Being Worthy Enough
- The Drunken Dreams

Although I don’t have too much interest in poetry but here I have ended up with praise for Zahra’s work.

Irum Zahra's Psychaotic: See the world in red and black, Book Review "20 out of 20 Stars"

By Author Holly Newhouse for Eternal Book Reviews

Just as devotees of certain television shows wish for longer seasons and more episodes, readers of poetry long to have poems that touch their hearts and souls. In this regard, Irum Zahra has been more than accomodating. In her debut book of poetry "Psychaotic: See the world in black and red," Irum Zahra writes in such a way that readers can feel as if they are looking right into her very soul. this is a trait she shares in common with some of history's greatest poets.

As I read the well written and descriptive prose contained within this amazing book, I was struck by the variety of emotions this fantastic poet was able to evoke within myself. As someone who only reads poetry by poets of the Renaissance era and earlier, I was extremely fascinated by the depth of the poetry contained within the lines of this book for which the author has insightfully named. The poetry she writes, contains themes of darkness, pain, despair, abuse, chaos, misery and disorder that occurred at times in her life when the poems were written and yet, they also contain themes of happiness, love, wonder, perception, and the transformation and change that can occur within a person. All of these these resonated with this reviewer and will resonate with readers worldwide as everyone in life at one time or another has experienced or felt these emotions and themes in their lives as all of these themes make up the human psyche and the human experience. They will resonate more so with those that are misunderstood and suffer or have suffered with mental illness and who wear a mask in public for fear of ridicule or being stereotyped, a very complex issue in the world today and one I deal with on a daily basis as a victim traumatologist. It is an issue that is the dark times within oneself that is rarely shown and suffered with, alone.
"Like a horror story being told, I felt the winds change their course...." is an example of this poet's unique ability in realistic and raw description that hits and resonates with this reviewers very soul.
The poem that affected me the most was called "Musings Underwater." This particular poem speaks about a girl who is empty, cold and alone in a broken home, who questions herself and who she has become, and her current existence. She is a soul, lost, in the reality of her world and present circumstances at the time the poem was written.
This exceptional book of poetry, while deep and dark in some of its themes, is perceived by this reviewer as being therapeutic for the author. This book and her poems are perhaps a way for the author to let go of a painful at times, past and at the same time, it helps the reader to understand complex issues as the poet bares her soul to the world, just as so many amazing poets before her, have done.
It is often said that a truly amazing poet always gives a part of him or herself in the writing of their poetry and it is very clear to this reviewer that Irum Zahra has clearly accomplished just that. The reader does not merely read words on a page with this book, but gets an in depth look into Zahra's soul at the time the poem was written.
I highly recommend this book to lovers of poetry who seek out beloved poets that can deeply move them. Although, if you're not a fan of poetry and it's unique prose then this book is probably not for you.
I definitely give this book 20 stars which is my highest praise for any book because it is just that good!

I am not a fan of poetry but this book managed to attract me into reading it. The words were beautifully strung together into a poetic lament. The poetry was both disturbing and beautiful. It was undoubtedly an emotional rendition of everything depressing. There was blood, a lot of blood. It wasn't nauseating though as it was nothing gory. It was almost beautiful to imagine the scenes in the book. Some of the poetry seems to show a glimpse of a fairy tale gone wrong. Sure does makes an interesting premise for a totally new and unrelated story.
I love the use of non-complex words because the author has the ability to concoct beautiful sounding sentences using only simple everyday words. It sure does made the reading very easy for a person like me who is not a huge fan of anything poetry.

Another thing that I love about this book is that it provided me with a lot of sentence to quote so I am so excited to create picture quotes out of it.

A collection of poetry (and an essay or two) revolving around emotional topics, depression being a common theme. Stop Me gives voice to a feeling common among depressive disorders. The stark simplicity of Seer, A Rare Absence, and Impatience make them strong (lost) love poems while several poems, like Vendetta, Depiction, and Prize Possession, express violent ideas that women have rarely been allowed to express.

The poems vary in style and format, with only a couple poems structured around a rhyme pattern. The rhyming poems are among my least favorite; the patterns feel too concocted, particularly when pitted against Zahra's freeform poetry.

My favorite line from this book doesn't come from the poems but from the afterward by Irum Zahra: "P.S. Find the words written for you and let them resonate in your mind and heart."

For me, that would be Roses on My Arms. The tattoo on my left arm is a full sleeve composed of roses, clouds, and bats that cover some of my own self-inflicted scars (and that's all the spoiler you'll get about the poem).

But Shambles of Innocence runs a close second to being my favorite poem because it's the strongest "woman-poem" in the book.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review.

[Dawn · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author kindly sent me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I haven't read much poetry since I left school. I've wanted to, but haven't really known where to start.
So, when Irum Zahra contacted me and asked if I would like to read her book, I said "Yes, thank you very much!".

The first thing I should mention is that I read this too fast! I didn't give myself time to reflect on each poem - I just wanted more. This is a good thing for me, as it means I can re-read and savour each poem - maybe limit myself to one or two per day.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of reading this book. The over-whelming feelings in the poems are pain and anger, but there's also some hope - for me, I saw that even negatives (like the pain and anger) can have their own kind of beauty. This is something I'd never considered before.

My favourite poem was "A world without blood". Very fitting for today's world.

Anyone looking to get started with reading poetry should pick up this book before looking elsewhere. For readers with more experience of poetry - you should pick it up too!

[Ali Baloch · Rating 1 out of 5]

I didn't expect this type of poetry from the level of your age group.You defines the order of states, like you said in your poetry "from parts to pieces" "Broken to trust"and "speechless to talk". This shows your good grip on words and this type of poetry requires a lot of experience in cruelty of life, and obviously experience requires an age. There is a legend that "Poetry shows the inner world of a poet"....your inner world is far above from your age. In some places you talk about the stages of feelings like "from care to lust" or I can say the limit of care is lust... Sometimes your poetry reflects an innocent girl behind it and sometime your words shows the mature women, aware of ups and downs of life. sometimes you make yourself a mirror and sometimes you asking for your own identity.... This is making a loop.And you are right "Psychaotic is not a happy song".After All a perfect book. I recommend this book.

Mehreen Ahmed's review

These enchanting collection of poems, titled Psychaotic by Irum Zahra, are like thousands of burning stars, glimmering through many distant portholes in their bleakest hour just before dawn. Each poem deals with some kind of an inner conflict of reality and illusion pertaining to our state of existence such as love,betrayal, insomnia, misery, solitude seen through the multicolored mirror of confusion, without losing clarity and focus at the same time. The poetess Irum Zahra, in her poems tries to awaken us to the thought that life can be subjected to unique interpretations, Misery loves my company, written in the rhythm of paradox, in which darkness sheds light, blindness gives vision and thoughts express speech, is an example of her mastery of skillful poetic device, through which she apprehends a reality of the mind, untainted by hypocrisy. For, that is the truthful representation of the soul.

[Aiman. · Rating 5 out of 5]

The very first thing I loved about this book was it's name, Psychaotic, I love the idea behind it.
Psychaotic revolves around the feelings of an ordinary heartbroken person who struggles to survive in this world. What I like about this dark dark book is that it not only talks about the suicidal (and homicidal) urge of a rejected soul but it also mentions hope after hopelessness. The poems 'Impossible him', 'Tumbling', 'Tides of sanity' (and many more from this book) make the reader feel that the author knows all the secrets of his/her heart. My personal favorite poem 'Defend your wrongs' encourages the reader to be original and experience everything by himself. After reading this poem I was like, "Oh somebody finally put that in words!"
'Beautiful' would be the word I would say if somebody asked me to describe this book in one word. I am desperately waiting for Irum Zahra's next book. I wish her all the love and happiness in this world. God bless you!

[Vetle Sivertsen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Psychaotic is a collection of beautiful poems, which, although many of them are dark, they make you feel optimistic after you've read them (possibly with the exception of "Adept of A murder" - which was more scary than dark). Reason for that, I think, is that the poems manage to put words on feelings which all of us have felt at least one time. It puts shows us the feelings we have about facing the world with words. There's obviously a lot of giving from the author's side and I don't think these poems could have been written without some personal sacrifice - something that I as a reader appreciates. Even if you don't like dark poetry, my three favorite poems in the collection; "Peace to my storm", "A violin's love", and "Turn back time", will surely make you glad you took the time to read this book

Psychaotic - a beautiful book that is not only a simple poetry book but it is a blend of a simultaneous heaviness and emptiness one feels in a certain phase of life.A phase that converts a person from very normal to more normal fighting the inner battles and standing tall in their love broken heart,living a hurricane of unexpressed emotions,becoming a tornado of highs and lows of physical existence and sentiments that is not accepted by the world because they label it as mentally unstable and psycho but those with fragile sensitivites see the psyche of being chaotic and they appreciate the survival of that more normal and this is all Irum Zahra has bled.She has shown the soul of being chaotic and how white turns to red and black with alot of patience having a storm of impatience within..:')..

[Storybrook System · Rating 4 out of 5]

When I first started reading this, I wasn't in love with it. The phrasing felt too simple for the subject matter, I guess, and sometimes I felt such a vast difference from one poem to the next - one I loved on the page directly opposite of one I didn't care for at all, mostly due to the wording itself, such as 'got scarred'.

At the end, not all of that has gone away, but there were enough high points throughout the book for me to say I enjoyed it - and quite a lot at times. In the poems I enjoyed, the reason was often the simplicity, the punch the words gave the underlying imagery.

All in all, it may not have been my absolute favorite book this year, but I am glad that I picked it up. There are several points and sentences and turns of phrase in it that I feel I would have been sorry to miss out on.

[Sandra Stiles · Rating 4 out of 5]

Depression is a common theme running throughout this book. This is not a collection of feel good poetry. They are dark and full of raw emotions. Most of them are free verse poems. These poems come from deep within. They show the hurt and betrayal that is often kept hidden within. "Peace to My Storm" is my favorite of all of them. There was a time in my life when this poem was my life. It is hard to imagine the journey she had to take to write a poem that mirrored my own life. I say this because I can still see clearly my own dark path I walked. For those who like poetry that touches the soul, dark or not this book is for you.
I received a copy for review. The opinions expressed here are my own.
