Although she'd spent her teenage years collecting and recording quotes and ideas that moved her, it wasn't until the death of her grandfather that Karen O'Leary found her poetic voice-and the confidence to introduce her gift to others. After delivering a eulogy for her beloved grandfather, O'Leary realized that people were moved both by her experiences and her expression of them-and that she must listen to the voice inside compelling her to share her work with the world. In Soul, her debut collection, O'Leary treats readers to poems intended to pluck at their heartstrings and gently guide them to contemplate what lies at the core of their being. Drawing from her own life-her relationships, triumphs, hardships, fears, and hopes-O'Leary captures the essence of a soulful existence in an accessible, resonant voice, welcoming people of all ages and experience into her poetry. So make a cup of tea and curl up in your favorite chair with this collection of moving, thought-provoking poems, and prepare to be stirred to the depths of your soul.
