Innermost is a collection of both free verse and fixed verse poetry written over a period of half a decade about every emotion felt inside the human heart. These poems will transport you to a whole other world within the innermost depths of the human soul.

"Author Jamila Mikhail's book "Innermost" is an emotional and mental poetry documentary that captures some of theauthor's darkest hours and coldest moments of her life as she strives to fight against the devastation of depression, rejection, disappointment and a broken heart. The idea of true love is noticeable throughout the book with romantic poems that embody sentiment,compassion, empathy, desire and fantasy- others show us merely the fragments leftover after all has been shattered to pieces... just like broken glass.

Emotional-based, the author's style of writing is like prose poetry and uses theliterary elements of symbolism, metaphors, and situational irony tocompare and depict real-life circumstances to figurative scenarios; an example of this is the depiction and comparison of her own internal battle to the idea of being lost at sea.
 
Author Jamila Mikhail's poetry can speak to so many broken spirits andnsuffering hearts and I can definitely recommend this book to others.More than a presentation of conflict, adversity and pain, this book reads as a poetic testimony of perseverance, heart, love, courage and transition in which the author digs deep down into her soul and embraces her hearts innermost." —Realistic Poetry International, 5 star editorial review
