Delighted to share the news of Harmony Kent’s new release… Life & Soul (Book 2 in the Soul Poetry series)
About the collection
Life & Soul is the second book in the Soul Poetry Series by acclaimed author Harmony Kent.
This beautiful collection of over fifty poems will take the reader through the highs and lows of everyday life via contemporary poetry in a range of styles and themes. Within these pages, you will find reflections on the Lonely Soul, the Seeking Soul, Brief Soul, Friendly Soul, and the Loving Soul—states of mind and living and longing we each experience over the course of a life.
Life & Soul offers something for lovers of poetry from all walks of life.
My review for the collection July 7th 2022
This collection takes us on a journey exploring the many aspects of life, love, loss and renewal.
The soul that is our unique inner being, can be fragile at times, but also incredibly strong to withstand the storms that sweep through our lives.
The author is very open about her life and the traumatic events that she encountered and overcame and her strength is very evident in the poems she shares in this collection.
There are many that I can relate to, with poems that reflect the heartache of love that has not just faded, but developed a darker side, and being an outsider in a society that has strict rules for acceptance. It is also a celebration of finding love unexpectedly, and discovering true friendships that come with total acceptance.
Clearly love is all encompassing and there is a wonderful section devoted to the romance, growing connection and everyday joys to be found with your soul mate. One line in particular stuck with me.
Love in the simple things
Such as your glasses case left on the kitchen island…
I found the last section of the collection The Life of a Soul fascinating as the author takes us from birth to rebirth with such grace and poignancy. Certainly there are tears for the young child and woman trying to find her way, but also smiles at the determination to overcome a devastating accident and to adapt to the world on her own terms.
There were many poems that struck a chord with me including This Isn’t Love, The Group, True Friendships, Plastic Surgeon and This is Home.
Wild and Free is a lovely example of the authors way with words.
I’m not the prettiest flower in the field
But neither am I a weed
Take the time to watch me bloom
Don’t cut my stem and moan when I fade too soon
Far better that you leave me be
Dancing in the breeze, wild and free
I recommend this collection to those who would like to absorb the wise and poignant words of one soul to another.

Great review, Sally, and congratulations, Harmony! 🤗 I’m on a blog break today, but HAD to stop by for this! Harmony, I know you are getting ready to take a break, too, so in addition to congratulations, I’m wishing you a very happy birthday and some wonderful “down time.” 🎂
I have this book on my Kindle, and I’m looking forward to reading it, though my time is currently being eaten up daily by the changes in our life. However, it occurs to me that this would be the perfect book to start on, as I can read one or two poems daily. I think I’ll start this afternoon! 😊
Thanks for a great post, Sally. Always fun to see my friends featured here! Rock on, my friend!
