By U-Meleni Mhlaba-Adebo

Soul Psalms, a collection of poems from Zimbabwean American poet U-Meleni Mhlaba-Adebo, is filled with lyrical and vivid imagery that takes you on a emotional journey toward finding self.

The themes in Soul Psalms may be personal, but they appeal to a universal pull: the desire to become.
