Wild Heart, Peaceful Soul
Poetry
Wild Heart, Peaceful Soul, is a beautiful collection of poems that provide inspiration to strong, vulnerable, badass women who love deeply, sometimes fall hard but always lead with their hearts. It is a deep and gritty, fresh and robust look at the thrill of loving unconditionally, as well as the mental and physical toll that it takes when peace and harmony are sometimes lost in the process.
Drawing on personal experiences from her own journey of the past 30 years, J Autherine delves into the vulnerable hearts of women from around the world, including from her early years in Jamaica. Poems such as Quiet Storm reveal the pain of sudden loss, while The Rebel Soul carries with it that air of doubt or uncertainty we all feel when in love.
The pain and struggle of women who love deeply and pour into others without first filling their own jars is prevalent throughout, as is the reoccurring theme of reclaiming your heart in order to live and love harmoniously.
Wild Heart, Peaceful Soul has the ability to pick you up in moments when you feel broken or not good enough to be loved and provide the strength in the love you always need as we search for the one who is worthy of our love.
REVIEW:
I haven't read much poetry lately and decided to check out Wild Heart, Peaceful Soul by J. Autherine. It brought back my love of prose. While I don't consider myself 'badass' enough, I connected to the book in ways I don't with other poetry books I have read in the past. This is really a superb book. It's all about pain and suffering women have had and will continue to have and makes you feel you're not alone in your own feelings about your self-worth and life in general. It's raw and gritty and goes right to your soul. I highly recommend it!
