Kim Farris cautions readers from the beginning that what they are about read in The Leaking Heart is her raw, organic vulnerability and that when they open the pages , they're opening up her heart, soul, and experiences throughout many years of love, desperation, depression with suicidal thoughts, and hope. She was not lying or exaggerating. The heart and soul of this poet does indeed leak all over these pages and throughout this collection. There is Love and Light, Darkness and Despair, and Hope and Inspiration. The poetry in The Leaking Heart represents a lifetime of self-reflection and will make you want to somehow reach through the pages and give this poet a heartfelt hug.

To the author:
Two emotionally moving books (Including the first, “The Leaking Heart”). Not just wearing your “heart on your sleeve”, but holding it up into the sun for all to see. That’s a gift to the rest of us, many of whom are trapped by the inability to express ourselves.
Who hasn’t felt such doubt and pain? Many have kept the storm inside wreaking damage that could be relieved by letting the winds blow free.
Of course there is no guarantee that such a profound self expression will solve the problems as you view them now, but such a show of strength does promise a better future for the strong woman that expressed it. You have such strength. The future will be different, and equally astonishing.
