Soul Food
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Soul Food offers a wide range...These poems illuminate the path of life. --Rachel Campbell-Johnston, The Times
These are poems for the human race at all times, be they celebratory or reflective. --Margaret Speak, Yorkshire Post
Soul Food, like another Bloodaxe anthology, Do Not Go Gentle: poems for funerals, captures the elusive overlapping oval in the Venn diagram of poetry-that-is-serious and poetry-that-breaks-your-heart. --Martin Wroe, Church Times
A friend gave me a copy of Soul Food as a gift... I thought it was so good that I gave it away to another friend within a matter of days, and bought myself a new copy, which I also gave away... I continue to buy copies for friends... I have read this book through from beginning to end a number of times now, and each time I am left with my spirit uplifted and a wondrous sense of warm joy in my soul. Not only is each poem fine, but reading the whole collection reads feels like the privilege of sharing another human's spiritual journey for a while. --Henry Morgan, The Merton Journal
