Diary of the Soft World

When you see through someone else's eyes doors and windows fly open. The view can be refreshing and enlightening and you may come to know yourself on a different level. When poetry is very personal it can offer such a vista. Diary of the Soft World by poet Carol L. Hatfield offers a series of deeply personal verses spanning many years and several genres. Some of the poems are written with children in mind while remaining accessible to all ages. Others are an expression of what emerges from heritage and DNA. Ancestry speaks loudly as do ancestors and when their voices reach a certain decibel level the poet has no choice but to express them. Many of these poems are words from Earth and Hatfield feels honored to have been able to interpret them. Taken as a whole this collection of poetry invites you to seek something new within yourself.
