Hello blog friends!

Today I'm excited to host author Harmony Kent from Cornwall in the beautiful southwestern area of England.

Harmony is an award-winning, multi-genre writer. She's also an incredible human being. Her heart of gold was set free during the 13 years she spent in a Zen Buddhist monastery. As she often explains, it was there that she faced her demons and discovered her own inner strength.

After a life-changing injury, Harmony began her career as a writer and what a career it is! Take a peek at some of her books at the end of this post.

In addition to being an avid reader and a prolific writer, Harmony also edits, does manuscript appraisals, and supports other writers in all the ways she can. You can contact her through her social media links listed below.   

Let's hear from Harmony about her latest book -- the second in the Soul Poetry Series: ​Life and Soul. Welcome, Harmony!                                                                   

✨✨✨
​​Hi, Gwen. Thanks so much for hosting me today. It’s always wonderful to visit with you. Here’s a little bit I’d love to share about my latest book of poetry …
This poem comes from a period when the first flush of head-over-heels love has settled somewhat.
 
Cuddle is about the deep connection that forms once a couple finds they’ve become best friends as well as lovers. The amount of love and belonging that can be conveyed in a simple cuddle is so profound and goes far beyond words and intellect. I hope you enjoy this poem and would love to know what you think.

​CUDDLE

 
Silence

filled so full

darkness

lit so bright

as you hold me

through the night

 


BLURB:

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.
 
 
PRAISE for Slices of Soul, Book 1 in the Soul Poetry Series:

  • "I found my answer in this wonderful treasure-trove and have already read it three times." Robert Fear
 
  • "I found in Slices of Soul something approaching aesthetic bliss, a sense of being connected in some way to other states - like tenderness, kindness, ecstasy - where art is the norm." Colm Herron
 
  • "A stunning collection of poems that I read in one sitting! Unable to simply put this down until I had read the last. I love the clarity of the short poems, such clear images created in so few words or phrases. Many of them touched my heart and I will be giving them a 2nd and 3rd read!" Audrina Lane

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
