Soul Land

This poetry collection really was a love letter to Scotland and how the author feels about Scotland. There was some beautiful imagery and wonderful phrases that painted a picture of the wildness and beauty of Scotland.

I did really enjoy the poems and language, but wished it was a little longer. I would have loved to read more since I did feel it was a bit short. Still, a lot of the images inspired by her words were wonderful and definitely make you feel like you can see the landscape she's describing.

Disclaimer - I received a free digital download of this book on NetGalley in return for an honest review.

As an avid reader of poetry, I found this collection to be completely different from anything I’d previously read. This was my first time experiencing transpersonal poetry and at the very talented hands of Natalia Clarke, I’ve found it a most enjoyable one!

One thing I wasn’t entirely comfortable with was the layout, but I think that is mostly due to the fact that I have a preferred layout of poetry that makes it more digestible and enjoyable for me.

I've read a decent amount of poetry, especially in the last couple of months, and Soul Land was very unique from all the others I've read. I really enjoyed how descriptive the poems were and the beautiful picture the author painted with each poem. It was surprisingly very short so it was a quick, fun read.

“I touched the earth with my bare feet and felt the sweet song of a morning breeze.”

Calming nature poetry about Scotland that will make you want to pick up a walking stick and wander through Scotland’s beautiful landscape and relax your spirit.

Nature is a very important part in our lives, and maybe we don't appreciate it enough. The search for what nature has to say to us is big, we need to connect with nature and disconnect from the rest. I love Scotland, and all the vast green areas it has. It is undoubtely one of the best places to get in touch with nature and aprpeciate it. To listen to it, and to emerge in it.
This books takes us there, but could also be any other place you can connect with nature. I did enjoy some of the poems written, but not all of them. Also, I wished it would have been a little bit longer, with a little more poetry in orther for me to enjoy.

This collection was incredibly unique. It painted a beautiful picture with its words, and I fell in love with every single one of them.
