Listen to My Heart

About the Book

“Listen to My Heart Speak” is a compilation of poetic letters written by writers from different walks of life. Candidly and vividly, lyricists open their hearts on paper, describing the metamorphosis of a sometimes ailing soul as it goes through renewal until a fully delivered spirit is born. Feelings, desires, and beliefs are poetically exhaled as the process of writing brings forth hope, victory, and deliverance. This is the psalm of our generation.

This book is written to encourage and to liberate those who know our struggle because it is or has been their struggle. It’s written to empower people who are bottled up but can’t put their feelings into words that so desperately need to be released. It’s written for all lovers of poetry that can appreciate and dance to the beat of our hearts as we reveal our life experiences in words.

There are times when we were afraid and times when we were boldly confident. Read it and see for yourselves how poetically we have written our way to freedom. It has been a remarkable journey in which we’ve grown, and still, our best is yet to come.

About the Author

“Listen to My Heart Speak” is a collaborative work written by six writers. This project was birthed in the heart of Katrina Wallace, who began to write as a means of expressing her true self. Through her discussion with friends, she found they too had written poetry or texts that gave voice to the feelings inside them. Writing for all the authors, including the featured writers, has been therapeutic. The healing and liberation experienced by pouring out their hearts on paper and finding a creative language of their own is a gift that came together as they shared in this book. As writers from different walks of life who have experienced everything from rejection to molestation and who have been liberated from betrayal, they wish to relate to many readers and facilitate healing for them as well. Walk with them and experience the journey from trauma to joy.
