A meditation on that intangible part of ourselves that we call the Soul. In a series of short poems, written in a spare and simple but compressed style, Nicki Leonie takes us through the development of the Soul, starting out as a blank canvas and gaining form and colour as we change and grow as humans. We see the dangers that come from living without feeling, learning or understanding. Beside each poem is a photograph of a landscape - trees, rivers, waterfalls - showing the Soul's natural affinity with the poetry of the natural world.
