REVIEW: Poetess Victoria L McColley’s EVOLUTION OF SOUL-In Motion offers first a statement of the writer’s belief that ‘your inward journey to peace can be found inside the harmony of your heart ensouling the carriage of your soul’s voice. Rhymester McColley’s EVOLUTION OF SOUL-In Motion, as was her Orchards of Deliverance The Descrying Soul of Love, is a compilation of at times; fragile, airy, unsullied, verse set down by a versifier having a caring heart and kindhearted voice. From the cover art featuring a delicate ‘Venus Rising’ type graphic offered in black and white detail to the verses within; this work is filled with radiance, sensual moments and splendor. ‘The Omniscience’ presents –Roses cerise are petals emitting delicate perfumes along with cerulean rain drops which paint the rising infinity of the sun upon the emerald summits of ensouling beauty.- ‘Credence of Eternal Presence’ brings -resonating within the chambers of love’s soul; … delicate melodies of inner fantasia eliciting; singing a glory from the intricate depths of belief…- while ‘Halo” tells of an angel fell from heavens and asks was it an accident of fate?- Other titles include Adorned, Caressive, Harmony, Carmine Blossoms, Celestial Promises and Empyrean Gifts with each taking up thesis of compassion, tenderness and lexis from the psyche. Eternality’s Belief, Sweet Innocent Child of Mine, Elevation’s Glory, The Divinity, You continue the themes of tender devotion and care. Concluding this volume is the philosophical Memories Engraved in which the poet speaks of -sanctuaries of yesteryear and the need to linger within the loves of childhood seeing not the path of another, straying not from spirits divination, walking steadfastly into lonely alleys upon the journey having elemental footstalls cast within avowals of love’s pillar… .- EVOLUTION OF SOUL-In Motion is a work of comprising nearly 400 pages including a forward notes, table of contents, the sonnets themselves, a broad spectrum of black and white floral offerings and an index of the odes. Across some 347+ pages poet McColley provides passage upon passage of delicate to forceful, ethereal to hearty, subtle to robust works; each centered in ensouling emotional evolution meant to create a love offering of emotive verse meant to stimulate devout fruition through the sentiment of affection's bequests embracing life. I found the continuum of canto set down by lyricist McColley to be affectionate, filled with an unassuming eminence as well as overflowing with la joie de vivre. The use of a wide range of floral offerings including daisies, star flower, roses, lilies and even morning glory as imagery linking the selection of folio filled with lilting verse furthers the feelings of a calm spirit and reflection. I like that McColley utilizes the gentleness of black and white photos; they provide a light feel while colors might be too intense in their brightness. Black & white photography showcasing personal views in addition to meaningful quotes regarding love's spectacular hold contained by the components of life is put to effective use. I enjoyed reading EVOLUTION OF SOUL-In Motion. McColley is a capable, artistic versifier who sets down stanzas gracefully from a motivated heart to transport the reader toward thinking of existence, empathy and fondness. Happy to recommend Victoria L McColley’s EVOLUTION OF SOUL-In Motion for those who enjoy compassionate stanzas filled with poetic confectionery, tranquility and beauty. =========================== Reviewed by Molly’s Reviews molly martin =========================== Product Details and Shipping Information from Amazon TITLE EVOLUTION OF SOUL-In Motion AUTHOR Victoria L McColley GENRE poetry Paperback: 354 pages Publisher: CreateSpace ISBN-10: 1450551122 ISBN-13: 978-1450551120 ----------------------------------- Indianan Lyricist McColley has deep connections to nature, animals and her own binding spirituality of love’s bounty.
