From the Author

My poetry is my place I can just feel and connect. It’s a place where I’m not trying to be anything or anyone. When I’m feeling something deeply, I let the words flow out on the page in the hope they can connect with someone else or even help them through a tough time. I love the opportunity to play with phrases that stick in my head. For me, poetry has helped me through dark times in my life. It’s been a refuge in a life that isn’t always perfect. I hope that my poetry can be that refuge for someone else, too.

L.A. Henry (in response to what poetry means to her)

I want readers, especially women, to take away from my poetry that they are stronger than they think they are. Most of my poems are about overcoming a sense of “brokenness.” This brokenness can come from relationships, your career, society, or even just the trials of life. I try to really tap into that vulnerability and rawness with my poetry while also showing a way to a brighter future. Most of my poetry collections focus on the idea that you really can be your own answer to your problems if you just realize how truly magical you are.

Soft Edges

Soft Edges is a poetry collection for women about the conflict between who we are and who society thinks we should be. It explores the deep, raw emotion of becoming your true self while battling very real, modern problems–in relationships, careers, and society. These poems are a genuine look at the deep struggle of finding the courage to be who you really want to be. The first half of the poems, “The Dark,” focus on the complex emotions we face in modern society, especially as women, to wear a mask for the world. These words illuminate the struggle we face in stale relationships, the burden of responsibility, and the struggle of expectations. The second half of the poems, “The Fire,” seeks to inspire you to find the courage to rise up above expectations and find your own fulfillment.

Being a soft edge isn’t easy, but walking through the fire to uncover your deepest self leads to an inner peace we all seek. These poems will remind you of the very important truth: We see you. Get Soft Edges on Amazon here

 

Love and life aren’t perfect. But the journey is what makes them beautiful and worth telling.
