Flo Barnett's, 'SOUL-POWERED POETRY: From The Depths Of Hell To The Gates Of Heaven, ' unites traditional and contemporary verse to expand one's love for poetry in its many and varied forms. Time-honored poems utilize rhyme to incorporate a musical flow to the meaningful content of their message. This aspect of traditional poetry continues to thoroughly delight today's readers, and therefore is sprinkled within many of Barnett's offerings. Contemporary poetry relies on the more esoteric content of its message, challenging readers to dig deeper into their thought processes to understand what is being conveyed. Presenting both types of verse add substance and character to simultaneously enlighten and entertain poetry enthusiasts. As an added attraction, Barnett carefully selected photos to accompany her poems to intensify their beauty as well as to stimulate the reader's further contemplation on a more personal level. 'SOUL-POWERED POETRY' is meant to do exactly what the title suggests, propel one's soul to power it has yet to experience
