⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (4.5 out of 5)
Some books announce themselves loudly. Bright covers, bold promises, big claims. Good Vision by Dr. Arun Kumar S does something else. It feels softer. Almost like it is waiting for you to slow down a little before you open it.
When I first looked at the cover, that warm golden light over water, a small boat moving forward, I felt an unexpected calm. Not excitement exactly. More like recognition. As someone who has been reading and reviewing books for over fifteen years now, I have learned to trust that first quiet feeling. Often, it means the book is not trying to impress you. It is trying to speak to you.
I went through the cover and the blurb slowly, the way I would if I were sitting with a cup of chai at my desk in the late afternoon. And honestly, I kept rereading parts of the blurb, not because it was confusing, but because it made me stop and think. That does not happen every day.
What the Book Is About
Based on the blurb and the overall presentation, Good Vision is a poetry driven reflection on morality, clarity, and the inner conflicts we all carry. Dr. Arun Kumar S frames the idea of vision not as eyesight, but as moral and emotional clarity. That distinction matters. This is not a book about seeing more. It is about seeing better.
There is a strong philosophical undercurrent throughout the description. References to Lord Vishnu and the idea that true power does not destroy but transforms stood out to me. The book seems to suggest that wrongdoing is often rooted in confusion rather than cruelty. That idea feels especially relevant in 2025, when everything around us feels loud, divided, and rushed.
The poems appear to move between personal reflection and broader human truths. The blurb talks about the mind being caught in darkness and then guided toward light, freedom, and understanding. There is talk of war between good and bad within the human mind, and poetry acting as a bridge between chaos and clarity.
This does not read like a conventional poetry collection focused only on aesthetics or emotion. It feels more like a moral meditation. A book that wants to sit beside the reader rather than perform for them.
What Stood Out to Me
The first thing that stood out to me was the sincerity. In my years reviewing books at Deified Publication, I have seen many works that use spiritual language because it sounds profound. This does not feel like that. The blurb is imperfect in places, yes, but it feels deeply honest. Almost unfiltered.
There is a line about the poet stopping his quarrel with the last word of truth. That stayed with me. It made me think about how often we argue, internally and externally, not because we are wrong, but because we are tired. Because we want certainty more than truth. I have seen this in real life, especially among people who carry responsibility for others.
Another thing I noticed is the idea of the poet having a bird’s eye view. That perspective suggests distance, reflection, and patience. It implies that the poems are written after living, not before. That matters to me as a reader. I trust voices that sound lived-in.
Stylistically, based on the blurb, the language leans toward the classical and reflective rather than modern minimalism. This will appeal to readers who enjoy poetry that explains itself rather than leaving everything abstract. Some readers love ambiguity. Others want guidance. This book seems to choose guidance.
The Emotional Core
What I felt most strongly while reading the blurb was a sense of reassurance. Not comfort exactly. More like steadiness. The book does not promise happiness. It promises clarity. And those are very different things.
There is an underlying acceptance of contradiction here. Crying and laughing. Senselessness becoming sensible. Darkness existing alongside light. These are not ideas meant to shock. They are ideas meant to normalize what many of us already feel but rarely articulate.
I think readers who are tired, mentally or emotionally, may connect deeply with this book. The poems seem designed to slow the reader down. To make them breathe. To remind them that confusion is not failure.
Personally, this reminded me of a phase in my life when I was juggling too many roles at once. Editor, mentor, decision-maker. I remember wishing for clarity, not success. Reading the blurb brought that feeling back. That quiet longing to understand rather than win.
Who This Book Is For
This book will resonate most with readers who enjoy reflective poetry with philosophical roots. If you are someone who likes poetry that speaks about life, morality, and inner conflict in a direct way, Good Vision will likely feel familiar.
It may not be for readers who prefer sharp, experimental poetry or very contemporary language. It also might feel heavy for those looking for light, playful verse.
I would especially recommend this book to readers who are drawn to spiritual themes without dogma. To people who enjoy thinking about right and wrong without being told what to believe. To readers who like poetry that feels like a conversation rather than a performance.
Final Thoughts
I want to be honest. Good Vision is not a book that tries to dazzle. It does not chase trends. It does not try to sound clever. And I think that is its strength.
Dr. Arun Kumar S comes across as a writer who has spent time observing life, wrestling with it, and then choosing to write from a place of resolution rather than conflict. That kind of writing may not appeal to everyone, but for the right reader, it can feel grounding.
As an editor, I do think the language could be tighter in places. Some sentences in the blurb feel slightly overstretched. But as a reader, I also understand why. Sometimes clarity matters more than polish.
This is the kind of book that does not shout from the shelf. But if you pick it up at the right moment in your life, it might stay with you longer than expected.
