Two #BookReviews of #Poems by @Harmony_Kent

Ciao, amici! Today, I’ve got two reviews for you, both by Harmony Kent. This time, it’s poetry instead of fiction, but I promise you the books are fast and easy reads (though, if you’re like me, you’ll want to go back and savor a few more slowly the second time around). I know you’ll enjoy the work as much as I did.

To save space, I haven’t included the blurbs, but you can click on the book covers for more information.

Without further ado…

SLICES OF SOUL

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

My Review:

Beautiful and Purposeful

I don’t often read poetry. When I finally do, I tend to read a lot of it for a while. This book has started me on my binge.

The poet has organized her offerings in a clever way, and I really enjoyed the different sections, particularly “Soul Music.” 

While it would be impossible to choose a favorite in this collection, a few that really stood out were Phantoms, Diamonds, Waiting, and Glitch. (I guess I have a thing for single-word titles.)

The foreward and a few little notes she included enhanced my reading experience. I highly recommend not skipping them.

This book is a joy to recommend. I’m off to read the next in this series.

LIFE & SOUL

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

My Review:

Powerful and Enlightening

I read this book the second I completed the first in the series. I’m moved by the poet’s ability to make me relate to situations I’m unfamiliar with so easily. Likewise, there are other times I think she’s tapped into my mind and heart and is writing from my experiences. It takes a true talent to have such range, and Kent has that.

I’m once again unable to choose a favorite section or poem, but a few I really want to call out are Echoes, Pariah, Drenched, and Blindsided. Though all her selections were powerful and moving, these four really spoke to my soul.

I highly recommend this volume and eagerly look forward to her next collection.
