Poetteer Mid Year Survey

We are entering the second half of the year and I want to see where we are at in our poetry corner. I have a mini survey. A 5-minute survey with 10 questions that will help me create better content to help you. https://poetfida.typeform.com/to/EnANh9

Your feedback is important and I look forward to seeing what you have to say. Thank you!

Spring Release Title Reveal

As I was working on this collection there was a lot of self doubt. I worry that I may be wrong or that I’m not worthy of sharing such pieces. I worry about being controversial and over stepping boundaries.

I love all your guesses:

Growing Soul
Thriving Soul
Nourishing Soul
Colorful Soul

The alternative title I was thinking of was ‘Rooted Soul’. But the more I thought of it I came up with a title that better fit the collection. Roots is about building a community, home and foundation while rise is about learning and growing from that foundation.

From an identity crisis and being naive about my beliefs, this collection is about growing up in a multicultural and Muslim home, accepting my identity and understanding the depth of my faith.

That title is ‘Rising Soul’. This will most likely be the last installment of the ‘Sit With Your Heart’ series. It will be published on March 2019. You can now add the book on goodreads.
