5.0 out of 5 stars Poetically Honest & Inspiring, April 16, 2002
By 
This review is from: Secrets of My Soul: A Collection of Poetry (Paperback)
I've read this writer's words before, and I was very anxious to get my hands on a book collection. After reading the book, I understood it's title -Secrets Of My Soul because the writer not only reveals some truths about herself, but she also reveals truth about us all. She speaks of love and family, life and religion in such an honest and for real fashion, that you're left feeling as though you just got up from a classic conversation. If you're seeking inspiration and a writer to reckon with, get this book! You will enjoy it and read it over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Gets Into the Secrets of MY Soul!, February 17, 2002
By 
The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets of My Soul: A Collection of Poetry (Paperback)
I was eager to read Faison's latest book of poetry titled Secrets of My Soul.
Her first poetry book (Poetically Speaking to the Heart, Mind, Body, and Soul)
left me speechless with its flow and rhythms, and I had hoped that Faison would
deliver the same powerful words to me again. I was NOT disappointed.

Faison once again opens up her heart and soul to reveal her thoughts on her
identity, love, love lost, spirituality, black men, and the joys and pains of
the world to which we live in.

Some of my particular favorite poems were the title poem, Secrets of My Soul,
Fast Girls, And He Kills A Dream, To One Million Black Men, A Woman in Today's
World, Rev. Dr. Do Right, and Wake Up!

In poetry, the "word" is so very important. Every word has to be just right in
order to resonate a poem's powerful meanings. In Latorial Faison's case, she has
a Ph.D. in the WORD, and everyone should embrace their meanings. This is a definite
must read for poetry lovers and just word lovers.
