SoulSpeak: The Outward Journey of the Soul

Book Description HTML

This book is about unlocking a source of beauty already within us. A source that has been with us since we first became human. It is the first poetry—a musical, spontaneous poetry that will rise out of us once we reawaken it. I call this poetry SOULSPEAK and its poems, speakings. Some will be challenged to create their own speakings. Others will be drawn to the history and nature of this ancient poetry and some to what it can teach us about poetry in general. The book has been laid out in five sections: Parts I –IV are intended for those who would like to know more about SOULSPEAK, including how to do it. Part V is intended for those who would like to know how SOUSPEAK fits into the canon of poetry.
