The Soul is Born!

by joshua ray

What does an ordinary life truly look like? How do we navigate the complexities of depression and the pressure to succeed? In his latest work, The Soul Is Born!, writer Joshua Ray dives deeper into these themes, following the release of A Gaze into Another Life. This collection offers a heartfelt and expansive anthology of poetry, covering topics like self, family, mental health, and sexuality. Divided into three parts, it provides a raw and introspective look into the author's journey—a struggle with depression, the evolving relationship with family, and the powerful journey toward self-discovery and acceptance. Far from relying on fancy words or intricate craftsmanship, this collection speaks to the heart with simplicity and authenticity.
