All Kinds of Stupid by Saheba Singh feels like a warm hug, the book is a collection of poems and verses which feel very raw, makes you nostalgic and sees right through your vulnerabilities in the best possible way.

What I liked the most was how the author has used #akos as a prompt after every verse which makes you reflect on your own thoughts and vulnerabilities. We've all been there where we have made stupid decisions that may or may not have proved fruitful.

But at the end of the day we are all those stupid choices we make and learnings we get from those. Saheba's words did exactly that for me and I am someone who enjoys reading poetry books alott, since one did not disappoint either and I highly recommend you to pick this up!

All kinds of stupid is a riveting collection of soul- stirring, emotional and positively encouraging assortment of poems that brilliantly portrays and celebrates the strength in acceptance of vulnerabilities and complexities of life. It's a life- affirming reading experience.

In this collection, the poetess has transcended the subtle hints of emotions to convey a rather vivid and profoundly explored sphere of perception of life. Whether it's the challenges or the struggles that rattles one's sense of existence, this poetry collection depicts an exemplary vast array of expectations and reality checks that cannot be fathomed in few words. Each poem is immersive and reading them gave me a chance to understand myself and my emotions without discounting the vulnerabilities that are often regarded as weaknesses. There is also a section that speaks about healing the inner child.

When I first came across this book, the title captured my attention. Seeking solace amidst the chaos of life, I was immediately fascinated by the way Saheba Singh enthralled me by kaleidoscopic vibrances of sentiments and expressive language. Being an ardent reader of poems, I had high expectations from this book as the book was visually enticing and promised the sentiments of love, hope, healing and self- acceptance being explored with delicate synchronisation of thoughts and memories.

"All kinds of stupid" cements the statement that poetry is an art that speaks to the soul that has learnt to find solace in turbulent times. The journey from heartbreak, pain, regrets to healing, transformation and self discovery of happiness will definitely resonate with you. This book feels like a safe haven. This book led the understanding of greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and ultimately, emotional growth. Overall, Saheba wrote in a comforting and soothing tone which I recognise as a powerful aid for emotional support and healing.

All Kinds of Stupid by Saheba Singh is a collection of poems and verses that speak about the different emotions one experiences in their lifetime. The dream for this book wasn’t for it to be a one-time read, but to be a constant companion during this rollercoaster of emotions in our overwhelming and overstimulating lives.
She suggests reading ‘Space 4’ on a moonlit night to know that you aren’t alone when you sigh at a breathtakingly beautiful moon. She suggests switching to ‘Space 2’ when childhood trauma resurfaces and you feel alone. Read Space 2 and you will realise that you aren’t the only one with baggage. And finally, she suggests reading ‘Space 3’ when you’re feeling zen after you have healed.
All Kinds of Stupid is also an interactive book, not different from the ‘find your own adventure’ books we used to read. Singh has placed a number of well-meaning questions at the bottom of each page, urging readers to reach out to her with answers, or questions of their own.
Singh’s writing tells readers that it’s okay to be ‘stupid’ sometimes, to feel all the emotions that we fight to keep in, much like a trusted friend telling us that it will all be okay and that we aren’t being irrational. Logic is allowed to take a back seat in this book, and emotions are given the license to drive. While some poems might appear to be musings, some might appear to be rants, and some question the logic in everyday happenings.

All Kinds of Stupid is a stand-out body of poetry exploring the themes of love, pining, breakup, and self-reflection. Saheba Singh weaves together a highly emotive and accessible narrative with the reader having a safe forum through which they can work out deep feelings. Its experimental framework blended with a recognisable substance lends it as an exciting innovation against traditional books of poetry.

The author's writing is reassuring and provocative. Her application of rich imagery and creative methods, including the inclusion of Rorschach inkblot drawings, gives the book depth and visual interest. The language is clear but profound, so the book is readable by a broad audience.

All Kinds of Stupid is a moving and groundbreaking work that lingers with the reader. Singh's talent for combining emotional resonance and artistic vision makes the book a classic within its genre. It is evidence of the potential for poetry as a vehicle for the investigation and comprehension of the human experience.

This book is strongly recommended for those who enjoy experimental poetry and are looking for a guide for moments of self-reflection. Its accessible themes and aesthetic presentation make it a worthwhile addition to any poetry enthusiast's library.

A slim volume of musings and free verse reflecting on our modern lives

Saheba Singh’s All Kinds of Stupid—with its byline Poetry Prose Satire Complicated—offers a distinctive blend of musings, journaling, free verse, and interactive content. Its unique style seems especially tailored for the social media-savvy Generation Z. The sepia-toned, attention-grabbing cover and fragmented byline reflect the book’s multifaceted tone, calling out to a generation that often tags life and relationships as “It’s complicated.”

The book comes with thoughtful additions: a blank B5 journal and a placard promoting the hashtag #akos. These elements encourage readers to engage actively with the book, flipping through its pages to explore the author’s world and share their reflections. Singh’s writing spans five different “Spaces,” each offering a specific type of content—ranging from doodles and journal-style musings to free verses and life lessons. Readers can choose a Space to suit their mood, making the experience flexible and personal.

The writing is raw and sometimes intense, addressing themes like life, relationships, and existential crises. While not entirely unique in content, some pieces stand out for their poignancy, especially those reflecting on the inner child, daily routine, or nature. Each entry ends with a prompt, inviting readers to ruminate, meditate, and share their responses online using #akos. This interactive approach doubles as a clever marketing strategy and adds purpose to the book, encouraging introspection and self-expression. The inclusion of a pocket-sized journal as an accompaniment is a thoughtful touch, aligning with this reflective theme.

One design choice that proved distracting was the ink blot pattern on every page. In the plain black-and-white paperback format, these blotches sometimes obscured the text, making it difficult to read. A more polished design—perhaps with glossy pages and ink blots in soft blue tones—might have enhanced its visual appeal. While this design choice reflects the author’s artistic sensibilities, it could have been executed more effectively.

Overall, All Kinds of Stupid exudes a comforting and minimalist aesthetic, aligned with its themes of solace and self-reflection. Its interactive elements and unique presentation have the potential to captivate young readers, offering them a refreshing reading and journaling experience. For those seeking both creative inspiration and introspection, this book is a worthwhile pick.

'I don't remember much from my childhood
but I remember
that when I was a kid
I wasn't allowed to cry'
(Page no. 76)

In this logic-driven world, I hope there’s a corner in your heart that stays stupid!

I love how the book begins, especially the introduction. It’s warm and inviting. In the intro, the author speaks to us as if she’s sitting right across from us in a coffee shop, chatting with us like a friend. She encourages us to doodle in the pages, sketch a few drawings, or leave a wine glass stain to make it our own book! This introduction made me smile, and I found it one of the best ways to start a book.

Arent we all felt stupid for several of our own emotions? We bury them deep inside, only to open them on dark, lonely nights. The book takes us there, not as a therapist or a guide, but as a friend—quiet and slow, one who listens and lets us sit with our emotions freely. Without the hesitation of being judged, questioned, or feeling regretful for our sadness, it simply stays there, watching us release our age-old selves.

The book has sections—which the author (Saheba Singh) describes as “spaces”—for us to feel, release, and realize the deeper parts of ourselves. Some take us back to forgotten childhood memories, some to lost love, and some to the downright “stupid” zones of our own creations. With several of her ink art pieces accompanied by prose, poetry, and sweet little questions here and there, all these elements combined made me appreciate this book even more.

I found myself wanting to return to it from time to time, like meeting an old friend unexpectedly!

‘Only people who can love with abandon can love all things abandoned.’ (Page no. 158)

Great blend of Art and Prose/Poetry/Satire, which strums that specific string of your deepest kept thoughts and feels.

Poetry is something that needs fewer words but stamps a longer impact on our hearts. And if written with some amazing prose it will definitely become worth reading again and again.

This was my experience with this book 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒕𝒖𝒑𝒊𝒅, I fell in love with the book when I saw the cover and the way "it's complicated" is checked out.

The book has its own charm and highlight the way it had been written. The #Akos has been used by the author which quote one question after at every prose. And questions which have been written by the author is something we all have in our hearts buried in air lives.

The prose in this poem deals with those overwhelming situations in our lives when we might feel stranded /alone and don't know how to process the situation.

This book has been written in such a comforting way that you will feel like you are talking with your closest friend.

This year I have read so many books on poetry but this one supersede everyone and I can't recommend this book enough.

after the moon sets sail
is when the quiet corners
of my heart
find a voice
...
That for me
is the most beautiful part
of the night.'

All Kinds of Stupid felt like one of those books I didn’t know I needed until I had it in my hands. There’s something so comforting about Saheba’s writing; it’s raw yet tender, unfiltered yet reflective. It creates a space where you feel seen, as if the pages are quietly whispering, “It’s okay to feel everything you’re feeling.” ✨❤️

While reading, I found myself slowing down, soaking in the words. Some poems made me smile with their honesty; others made me pause because they hit a little too close to home. It’s like revisiting those bittersweet moments in life that you think you’ve moved past, only to realize they’ve stayed with you 😭

What stayed with me most was the message of embracing vulnerability, even when it feels like the hardest thing to do. This book teaches you not to shy away from the messy parts of life but to celebrate them instead. All Kinds of Stupid isn’t just a book you read, it’s a book you reach for on those days when you need a reminder that it’s okay to not have everything figured out. It’s the kind of collection I know I’ll keep coming back to, especially in those quiet, overwhelming moments 🫶🏻

All Kinds of Stupid is far from stupid—it's a heartfelt collection of poems that speaks to emotions often left unspoken. From heartbreak to childhood trauma, these poems offer solace, wrapping readers in a warm hug during their most overwhelming moments.

Each poem is simple yet deeply resonant, like a close friend who truly understands your pain. Saheba Singh beautifully normalizes vulnerability, encouraging readers to embrace their raw emotions. These ‘stupid’ poems create a safe space to feel, process, and heal at your own pace.

Thank you for the cute little journal and, most importantly, for writing this incredible book. It gave me the space to process and heal from my grief, and so many of the poems deeply resonated with me. Grateful to have read these 'stupid' poems—which are far from stupid but rather raw, honest reflections of emotions that so many of us feel.

For anyone looking to navigate their inner world with greater compassion and understanding, All Kinds of Stupid is the perfect companion.
