Soul Scribbled Stories

I don’t usually read poetry, but this book completely drew me in. It’s accessible, deeply moving, and each poem leaves you with a sense of peace and wonder

This poetry collection is a heartfelt exploration of the human experience moving seamlessly through love, loss, personal growth, and the unshakable bonds of family. Each poem feels like a stepping stone across the river of life, tracing a journey from the turbulence of youth to the layered reflections of adulthood.

Whispers of the Wild is breathtaking. Each poem feels like a quiet walk through nature, where every line holds a hidden truth. I found myself rereading several pieces just to savor the beauty.

Reading Between Echoes and Ashes was like holding a mirror up to my own life. Brandi Jenkins has a way of writing about adolescence that feels both deeply personal and universally familiar, The confusion, the desperate longing to belong, the mistakes we all make. As the collection shifts toward adulthood, the poems take on this quiet maturity that hit me hard. I especially connected with the pieces about starting anew and reclaiming independence; they reminded me of my own struggles to rebuild after a difficult chapter. What’s so powerful here is the balance: yes, there is pain, but there’s also a stubborn insistence on joy, on love, on living fully. Jenkins doesn’t shy away from hard truths, but she doesn’t leave you hopeless either.

This collection spoke straight to my soul. The imagery is stunning and the emotions feel raw yet healing. It reminded me to slow down and pay attention to the little things

Brandi Jenkins has a rare gift. She captures both the majesty and intimacy of nature with words that flow like music. A book I’ll be coming back to again and again.
