The Rosary of Love is an immensely soul-bearing poetry collection all about Love. I appreciated the intention behind this book expressed in the intro, that of reminding the reader about the essential, selfless quality of love in a world that seeks instant pleasure and self-gratification above all. I enjoyed Ashraf's use of nature imagery to depict the fathomless depths of this love but these poems also evoke a level of verbosity that felt overly dramatic, like when he asks his lover to flay him and set him on fire which he then describes as "sweet pain" ?!?!
