"Songs of My Soul" is a book of poetry written by a young girl during the years when she was struggling for control over the anxiety disorders which eventually led to clinical depression and suicide. A statement in her diary expressing the wish that she would not die with her songs unheard led to this collection of her work being published shortly after her death.

Review
A small volume of poetry called "Songs of My Soul" is disturbingly, beautifully written - and probably should be required reading for anyone involved in the treatment of agoraphobia and related conditions. -- Ontario Medicine
Her work demands to be read aloud, although it is enjoyable when read silently. Its appeal is so universal that it speaks with either male or female voice. Sometimes the words are a plaintive, fearful whisper and sometimes they cry out with strength - at all times, this selection of poems gives the reader a glimpse into the soul of a young woman whose concerns are universal. Her poetry is not the type of rhyming verse of repetitive tempo. It is dedicated more to the rhythm and melody of language, as often as not demanding pauses and skipped beats to create her song without music. Her words seem to echo in the mind. -- The Prince George Citizen.

About the Author
The poetry of Kirstin Miller (1972-1991)is the expression of a young person's love and fear of the world, as she perceived it, during her tragically short life. All the concerns and the insecurities of an adolescent striving for maturity are vitally apparent in the heightened perceptions and extreme sensitivity of a long-time victim of anxiety disorders.
