Life Power Soul: A Compilation of Poetry and Spoken Word

Poetry should challenge you to think about your life and meditate on your past and future. It should incite you to feel the author's pains and joys. It should invite you to see things through another's eyes. When necessary, it should inspire you to change the way you think, how you feel, and what you see. In other words, poetry should dare you to grow.

Life Power Soul takes a straightforward view of life and relationships and has something for everyone; simple poems that illicit vivid imagery, hard-hitting poems that motivate thought, and spoken word poems that please the mind's palate.

This book fuses traditional poetry with spoken word and the musical influences of R&B and Hip Hop to create a free-flowing conversation between author and reader. If you enjoy poetry, whether it be traditional verse or free verse; if you enjoy sincere and direct commentary, whether it be spoken word or rap; if you enjoy the smooth melodies and lyrics of a good, soulful song; this book combines it all into a medley of poems designed to give voice to your Life, infuse Power, and add Soul and inspiration through repetition and melody. Dare yourself to grow!
