"A Song on the Road Home" by H.N. Lawrence is a collection of delightful poetry focused on her course of spiritual seeking. Some of the poems are very personal due to her own time of loss. Readers should be inspired by the author's love of nature, passion for artistic expression and reflective style. The book includes 113 pages of eloquent poetry. Her spiritual poems cover a wide range of themes including peace, nature, love, sorrow, bliss, intimacy, acceptance and self-exploration. These poems can be viewed as self-help by readers that have suffered a loss of life or a loss of love, be it family, friends or even animals. The official review was very detailed and well written.

Just read the book, and i am delighted by the simplicity with which the poet has put down the heavy feelings of losing someone dear, with such beautiful phrases. The review rightly descibes the book and the magic the poet has created in this collection of poems.

A Song on the Road Home, written by H.N Lawrence is a delightful book that displays the true love of nature. Even though poetry is about creativity and wordplay, the poems in this book have true meaning especially when it comes to life. The introduction of the book shows how one's life can change, especially after experiencing the loss of a loved one or loved one's.

Poetry books are usually sloppy and hard to understand as they contain different content in them. But in this case, you can tell that even though there is a lot of creativity involved, this is a book of real life experiences and feelings. The author went through a great deal of spiritual seeking before writing this book. She changed careers from taking care of animals to artistry through painting but the real art came in the form of this particular book.

This book contains four sections of heartfelt experiences. I did not come across spelling errors but there is one poem I believe, did not have a proper closing. The poem is in the first section. It's titled "Unraveling". The last paragraph goes, "The unquestioning of breathing in and out of" that's how it actually end but I don't that's how it was supposed to end.

But all in all as I deeply enjoyed this poetic book I would give it a 4 out of 4 rating and I recommend it to anyone who is going through different emotions in life as it is not focussed on one feeling but taps into different emotional feelings as a poetry book.

The review paints a very vivid picture of what's to be encountered inside this collection. I am not a poetry fan myself, but would definitely recommend people to give it a try.

My interest has been drawn towards the book by your review. I'd love a soul-calming poetry book and one that can be used for meditation, and this book falls under the category. Congratulations on being the Book of The Day.
