A rose growing in the light of love . . .; the soul coming to rest within the warmth of inspiration . . ., or love shining like a star in the darkness . . ., these and other thoughts expressed in this collection are the result of feelings of the heart blending with life experience; this is the poetry of Pablo Soto Caudillo. Simple words and a soft-spoken poetic voice communicate his free verse of love, hope, and promise. In addition, his simplicity and imagination not only bring to life the characters that occupy the time and space of his lyric verse, but also create an environment touched by magic and wonder, bewilderment and uncertainty, confrontation and courage, or love and separation.

Through his free verse and lyric verse, Pablo Soto Caudillo will reach out to all reading age groups. For the reader of Spanish as well as for the student studying the Spanish language, the bilingual section will allow the reader to view the poet's interpretation of life via the English verse or the Spanish translation. Without a doubt, Pieces of Thoughts and Feelings (Fragmentos de Pensamientos y de Sentimientos) and Other Reflections of the Soul is a pleasant escape into the art of poetry.
