Neon Soul: A Collection of Poetry and Prose

Favorite

Sometimes I wish there was another star, a different color perhaps, that would let you express how beyond amazing something is. That it is in a class of it's own.This book. Her writing. Neon Soul speaks to where I am, where I've been, where I hope to someday be. I felt movement, real flowing movement. I yelled out loud in triumph. I teared and sat somber in self-reflection and remembrance. I read some out loud, in different tones and different meters. I was encouraged and felt at peace. I had to take cleansing breaths between pages so that I could honor each poem, each piece of prose. I was only a quarter of the way through when I got back on Amazon and sent a copy to a close friend, wanting her to feel what I kept feeling. I emerged as though on a soul level, I know Alex Elle and she knows me...a deep, spiritual human connection. I felt as though on some level or plane, she is in my tribe.This one is worth owning, feeling the book beneath your fingertips. This not a book you'll read through once, enjoy and be done with. This one will sit on your bedside table and you'll keep coming back for more, to feel again, to breathe again, to move again.

The first time I heard anything by Alex Elle, it was on an episode of First (an amazing series that you should go watch on YouTube right now). I was immediately obsessed; I downloaded her books to my phone and tweeted screenshots from them without abandon for months. Alex explains me in a way I have never experienced before in a stranger, lending words to my endless feelings of self-doubt and my longing for love--love she has helped me to find in myself. Her passion for self care shines through every page of this book. The poems fluctuate perfectly between lengths, but my personal favorite format of Alex's has always been the succinct -- her shortest poems showcase her incredible talent at saying everything in so few words. I strongly encourage anyone who is in a point of self-reflection, who is recovering or has recovered from trauma or loss, who loves poetry, or who cares to give gratitude and meaning to life's tiniest moments to purchase this book and support this incredible woman.

ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING!!Read Love in my Language first & read through it so fast I was heartbroken when I was done.I'm taking my time with this one & am so inspired by every page.Neon Soul reveals pain but confidence & self worth takes over.I love to watch and read about others success in finding their own journey & finding their true happy, confident selves.This books gives my all the feels!My life motto is "With Every Struggle Comes Strength" when I read similar words in this book I was overwhelmed.Found this in a time in my life where I needed to hear someone else's story in order to understand & appreciate my own.I want to thank the author for sharing her story so beautifully & being another empowering voice to those in need.What's next?

This book.. honestly changed my perspective. It's so important to write from your heart and be true to your voice and that is exactly what Alex did. I appreciated her vulnerability and her sense of self. She makes it clear in the book that although her life may seem well from an outside perspective, she's still dealing with a lot of other things internally. I love her for it. She's a woman, a mom, a wife, a writer... a minority and that makes her all the more powerful. Side note: The art in this book is beautiful and it's simple!I am so happy that I made this purchase. Wishing you many great things Alex. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

I saw myself in just about all of the poems. I loved it. It was a great read for Poetry month. I wish I had discovered this sooner.

This poetry book was awesome. I found myself connecting more and more as the book went on. If you are into poetry and are looking for messages of healing, rejuvenation, and finding your voice/power, this the book for you!(Plus there are pretty drawings in it!)

Such beautiful and inspiring words. I would recommend this to anyone, especially any woman, who has experienced tough times. This book of poetry inspired both me and my sister.

Very easy read. I enjoyed all the pages as each page offered something unique, whether that was healing from hurt or elevating your mind. I would recommend this to people who are need of emotional, sexual, physical or even spiritual healing. This book is for the readers who feel exhausted and would like to enhance their perspective on life, self-love and healing. I really Alexandra Elle continues to write more fascinating crafts and poems.

Beautiful book filled with beautiful poems

I highly recommend this short read. Thought provoking through honesty. Survival is inherent throughout. An uplifting read. Time well spent reading this book. A goto for some when in need of reinforcement when doubting themselves. Some powerful poems.

Amazing collection. Such beautiful pieces. This book is everything.

beautiful, affirming
