of poetry by Latorial Faison is so honest and well-written! Her range of
topics touches so many places in me and I can relate to so many of the
poems on a personal level. her writing has great depth and her strong spirituality
and humanity resonates the pages. I loved the book, and highly recommend
it to anyone!

| Before I was an author I was
a poet, and Secrets of My Soul is why. I love words and the playful
way that poets make words do what they say. Latorial Faison is indeed a
poet. She had me from title poem, and when I stumbled upon "Mirrored Soul,"
I knew I had found someone whose work I'd eat up...hungrily. I've also
become an avid fan of haiku and #9 is my favorite with her wordplay with
sun/Son. If you only buy the book for "You Never Did Own Me," trust that
by the time you get to "I Dare You," you will be glad you did. Linda

| The Soul Has Many Secrets!
Ms. Latorial Faison's, Secrets of My Soul is uplifting and
a delightful ray of work. Intelligently written, Latorial explores various
issues and plights regarding self, family, and the world describing them
in words filled with spirituality, empowerment, love and joy.
I especially enjoyed the positive energy that I personally felt as I read
each one of her poems. I look forward to reading more poetry by Ms. Faison's
in the near future. Her poetry is a wonderful 'Fruit of Thoughts'.

| I finally read Latorial's book
and all I could think was "these poems were written for ME!" Ms. Faison's
words struck so many chords in me. Her poems spoke to my soul and helped
me reveal secrets that had been locked in me since childhood. She is a
talented writer and I can't wait for her next book! Absolute poetic
magnificence!
