“The sensuality is there, but yet, a revengeful motif.” —Tony Medina

The sequel to Heather Covington’s PerSOULnalities series is back, but this time it’s for men, or is it? Watch men get trapped in another oceanic thrill ride of hit and run “murderotic” love poems that are sexy, lukewarm and down right cold. The year is 2003. The poetic novella breaks out on the cusp of Heather Covington’s good-bye tributes to yesterday’s failed romances in dire empathy for today’s woman who has suffered a heartbreak situation from male persoulnalities, but there is a twist as memories of current and classic R+B songs and poetry are infused to restore every woman’s soul. This melodic melange cleverly intoxicates and hypnotizes even the most upright male persoulnality to stay committed to the woman in his life or receive a serious poetical whiplash from H.C., the alter ego of today’s woman. Don’t be surprised if Heather’s poems have you wanting to sing away the blues.

Who is this Native New Yorker who has created an ocean of fictitious caricatures about every kind of woman, who she affectionately calls, "PerSOULnalities" in her latest poetry trilogy series, PerSOULnalities: Poems For Every Kind Of Woman? Why, it is no other than the Poetical Princess of the Bronx herself, Heather Covington. Don’t be fooled, readers will feel enchanted, tossed, displaced, restored, nurtured and validated all in one after meeting these zany and off-your-seat caricatures from neighbors, and strangers to friends and co-workers. No one is left out. Heather’s new genre of neo-perSOULnal poetry is an eclectic whirlpool of emotional fury, despair, greed and envy as told by the caricatures and restored nuances, of which a few will splash readers with positivity and renewed hope. Don’t be surprised if some of her comical urban twisted to philosophically political caricatures remind you of yourself. She’s even added an encore of poems about herself and a reading group guide that will challenge readers to search for their own treasures and challenge those who try to rob folks of their inner jewels. Find out if you’ve been robbed, and how you can get your treasures back today by reading these poems.
