An Excellent Collection of Poems & Feelings.

I was lucky enough to get a free copy of this author's audiobook. It did not disappoint. I am not the most poetic of people but I found this book to be more engaging to my cold heart than expected. The narrator did a really good job of making me feel the emotions encapsulated in each passage and I came away feeling that I gained a deeper understanding of the author's truest of feelings. I think someone who truly appreciates poetry at the deeper level than myself will be moved by the author's words.

A lovely collection of poetry

This collection of poems flow together to tell a lovely story.

The author, Teresa James, obviously put her heart and soul into these poems. I was able to get a true sense of her feelings and emotions.

Courtney Young-Burgess did a lovely job of expressing the emotions of each poem. I enjoyed her performance.

A beautiful collection of poetry!

A wise person once said that poetry has been invented to satisfy the cravings of the soul. In this beautiful collection of poetry, the author reflects on themes we can all relate to, including love, healing, and suffering. The gentle voice of the narrator adds to the delight of the experience, and I feel that poems like this remind us of how vulnerable we are as humans. I loved how the author explored a large spectrum of emotions, offering an eloquent perspective on the challenges life has to offer. Her poems come from a pure place, and they give us insight into her heart. What is the essence of a poet? Teresa James brings us closer to the answer, which I believe is simple: the words they give to us. We are taken on a journey of rhythm, where words blend into phrases that inspire and delight at the same time.

Joy

Light and joyful, jet deep. I enjoyed the poems very much. I even started to use them as journaling prompts. Thank you for making it possible to hear them in audio.
Courtney Young-Burgess has a fine voice. Perfect for this book.

Expressions through a rose

Great audiobook. The author Teresa James takes you closer inside to understanding all a rose has to offer. She makes it clear that a rose has different meanings as it interacts which each soul that takes in its aroma. The approach to a rose is delicate and so should it be to a woman's heart as well.

Beautify Poetic Story

I could relate so much to this beautiful compilation of stunning poetic storytelling. I don't want to spoil the fun. This is a relatable and wonderful story, told in a melodic style. You will thoroughly enjoy this.

I found myself engaged in the poems

These poems draw on the heart strings

Poems have a way of embracing readers fully and wrapping them in the emotions the author seeks to elicit. In the case of author Teresa James, she attracts a large swath of readers as her poems draw on the heart strings of love and relationships.

Making this read even more enjoyable was the audio nature of it. Courtney Y. Burgess’ voice is made for this book of poems. She enchants you into the words, rhymes, and feelings in James’ penning of “The Heart of a Rose.” Admittedly, this was my first audiobook of poems and whoa, the power, intensity and mark left on me from hearing these poems read aloud was breathtaking.

Aptly named for the interspersed flowers and roses in the stories told, “The Heart of a Rose” takes readers through the tides of relationships, from meeting to falling and failing and back again. This book is broken into seven chapters, each with a leading theme. In each chapter there was a poem that especially resonated with me and grounded me to the rose title and chapter theme. For instance, in chapter one it was the poem titled “Why a Rose” which enlightened readers to the role a rose can play in so many things, in chapter two it was the poem titled “Yes I’m a Rose.”

The combination of James’ words, read by Burgess is not to be missed. They will soothe your heart, reach your inner depth, and embrace you to your core.
