Her Loved Soul: A Poetic Journey Through Dating

This collection of poetry by American Poet, Briana Ariel, takes readers on a transparent journey of the process to love once again. She dives deep into the highs and lows of dating and the willpower it takes to become whole after being broken.

Through a season of self-reflection, she realized she was close to losing love. The brokenness and the pain of getting past previous relationships drove her to close the door to love again and allow herself to be truly loved. Even if everything in her wanted to slam the door shut and throw away the key, she couldn't do that. She had to keep the flame lit, at least in her mind. With each poem, she fueled the fire. The good, the bad, the past, the present, and the future. She pulled from her experiences as well as those of the women in her life to give voice to their versions of love. Through this collection of poetry, she discovered pieces of herself that revealed her fears, hopes, and even her shortcomings regarding the way she loves others and God.
