"In the Prism of Your Soul" is a heartfelt bilingual poetry anthology full of love, passion, and, at times, eroticism. Overwhelming feelings will overtake readers as they go through these honest lines created and shared from the bottom of author Kurma Murrain's inspiration. Every chapter represents a defined stage that punctuates with passages of her own life as she brings experiences from her beloved Colombia, combined with her new beginnings in the United States.

This book was written throughout a long period of time recalling experiences of childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The author's mother was always an encourager and she always knew her daughter had to share her poetry at a greater scale.

"In the Prism of Your Soul" is poetry in two languages, showing the transition from one to the other. Both English and Spanish speakers will be able to identify with the sentiment of this poetry. It relates life experiences, Colombian times, American times. It is overall hope for a better future and a better life. The way every poem is crafted reflects the sentiment of a universal woman with a choice of words that is like no other. Any Spanish speaker or English speaker will get swept away with the book's every poem. "In the Prism of Your Soul" has a unique choice of words that is so inspiring and everyone can relate to the feelings expressed, waking up those memories and becoming brothers or sisters with the poet.

Poetry is the language of the heart. In a world where electronic gadgets have replaced human contact, it is so important to stop, find a silent place and read one woman's words that can bring back happy memories and exciting feelings.
