Setting My Child Soul Free: My Ticket to the Kingdom

In volume one of her moving and evocative Soul2Soul series, The Battle and Victory of the Soul, South African poet Nozipho Ronalda Zubane chronicles her spiritual awakening and the emotional cleansing that accompanied it. Now, in Setting My Child Soul Free, she delves deeper and further into herself, reconnecting with the child soul she believed was long lost to her.

The resulting collection of twenty-four poems returns both Zubane and her readers to those carefree years before maturity stifled curiosity and rules killed spontaneity-a time when, as Zubane herself says, "Everyone was my relative. Everyone was my friend."

Zubane's journey brings up memories unique to her life, but simultaneously universal in their scope. She asks her readers to consider why we're conditioned to abandon the positive, accepting aspects of childhood in favor of an often judgmental, defensive adulthood. Through memory and humor she offers a guide to reconnecting with our own long-silenced child souls.

Often lighthearted, sometimes heartbreakingly poignant, Setting My Child Soul Free invites you to embrace wonder and uncertainty as old friends, and reminds readers that, in the grand scheme of the universe, we are all children.
