Unbinding My Soul: A Collection of Poetry

The poems in this book offer an unveiled look into what is required to unbind one's soul-to become, unlearn, leave off, abandon, and reopen over and over again.

Composed primarily over the past five years, the poems capture the intense complexity of a mind and heart forever seeking answers and acceptance, a spirit hidden away that longed to be found. Always recovering from a relentless ambivalence that drove her personal life, Roberts' poetry explores the angst and dilemmas of childhood, the lost middle years and the wisdom of old age. It took many lifetimes to bring these poems into being, finally coming together during the period in Roberts' life when, after decades of denial, she said, 'I am ready to be unbound.' Then, with great care, she began unearthing suppressed emotions.Embracing her role as a crone, she grew into her highest self through blessed friendships with wise women and a late-blooming love that opened her to all she could be.

The author invites you to indulge your senses, be one with loss, endure pain, feel the soft touch of a breeze, bloom like a flower, and release fear-to be unbound.
