Publisher Description
Herein lies a raw exploration of duality, darkness, and desire. A collection of sonnets, haikus, and free verse that brings to the surface our fractured pieces and celebrates how the light and the dark blend to make us whole. An invitation to embrace the shadow and give it its rightful place as a part of the self.
Internationally celebrated voice actor and author, Joe Arden, opens his mind and heart in this scintillating outpouring of original poetry. Arden’s work bleeds from the page in the same emotionally-charged fashion as his lyrical performances of the countless love stories he’s told throughout his career.
The power you’ve hidden underneath glows,
Who told you to bury your beautiful?
Every scar tells me what your body knows.
Your presence to me is immutable.

The Words, The Performance, Prepare to Be Amazed!
Wow, Joe Arden pens an amazing collection of poetry, twenty-three sonnets masterfully written, with each one just as moving as the other. Powerful and meaningful thoughts coming from the heart and the mind, delivered beautifully and poetically from the pages to your ears. The personal messages were equally moving, and I loved he included quotes and references to the plays and William Butler Yates and thoughts on how he related to them. And keeping true to himself and his words, Joe Arden’s performance, one like no other, full of raw emotions, comes to you straight from the heart. Thank you for your profound and thought-provoking words and exceptional performance.
