The Soul vs. The Flesh offers the reader a unique story told in lyric form. Instead of chapters, the author allows his soul and his flesh to go round for round telling one story, making The Soul vs. The Flesh a poetic masterpiece. Given the complexity, the author, Daniel N. Collins, has successfully created a difficult piece of writing and uses numerous pop culture references throughout the story to create familiarity for the reader with situations he has gone through. Daniel uses his poetry to address relationships, spiritual growth, contradictions within the Bible, and the clashes between religions. Movies, music, and entertainment are also incorporated in as well. All throughout The Soul vs. The Flesh, the author battles himself as he self-reflects and evaluates his own decisions. The soul and the flesh take on their own personalities and communicate with one another as the author is stuck in the middle of the conversation. The author takes pride in his poetic writings and shares many personal experiences with the reader through the art form.
