About this listen

Herein lies a raw exploration of duality, darkness, and desire. A collection of sonnets, haikus, and free verse that brings to the surface our fractured pieces and celebrates how the light and the dark blend to make us whole. An invitation to embrace the shadow and give it its rightful place as a part of the self.

Internationally celebrated voice actor and author, Joe Arden, opens his mind and heart in this scintillating outpouring of original poetry. Arden’s work bleeds from the page in the same emotionally-charged fashion as his lyrical performances of the countless love stories he’s told throughout his career.

The power you’ve hidden underneath glows,

Who told you to bury your beautiful?

Every scar tells me what your body knows.

Your presence to me is immutable.

A collection of written words that encourage the listener to feel, think and allow yourself to be immersed into Joe Arden’s literary talents. Several times I felt myself drifting into what I was hearing. I felt things in both my heart and soul. Struggling with depression, anxiety and moments of emotional distress this audiobook had me pulled into my thoughts and feelings. At times transporting me into a world where my thoughts and feelings no longer felt like just my own. Highly recommend this to those who wish to escape into the mind of a brilliant writer and narrator. Thank you Joe for taking me on a very interesting and emotional journey.

Feeling the residual path of my tears after listening to Joe speak. I felt my inner self acknowledged for but a fleeting moment yet struggle to pin point why I felt a connection, or reason for tears, just knowing it happened so quickly was profoundly reflective of my deeper self. A beautiful art of spoken words.
