Arnold's debut collection of 128 poems spans three decades of work. Her writing is gritty and powerful. One of the most moving poems in the collection is about her beloved father Tyler. In an excerpt from the poem "The Call," Arnold uses stunning imagery, true emotion and honesty in this heart wrenching recollection about the day she learned of her father's death.
"I was numb, angry
yet deeply relieved.
I loved my father
but watching him suffer
day after day
ripped through the core of my
of my heart and soul.
I knew this day
was inevitable.
Still, I feel like
a helpless orphan"
Another compelling poem from the book is "Justice for Trayvon," which sheds light on racial prejudice and misplaced fear. Trayvon Martin, a teenager, was murdered last year in Florida on his way home from the store.
"cries of injustice
speak louder
than the reckless
actions of this
one lost man
a call for calm
has been made
to try to quiet
a brewing storm
within
engulfing winds
screams justice
for Trayvon"
Arnold also exposes the injustices and despair faced by the mothers of missing and exploited children. In the following excerpt from, "Have You Seen My Daughter,", Arnold depicts a mother's anguish and despair and undying faith and belief as she searches for her missing child.
Wait, don't walk away.
Please tell me you have
seen my child. I do
not remember
how many cities I have searched. I have looked
in so many places. It is
as if she has vanished.
How does a child disappear
without leaving a trace?
Arnold also excels in discovering beauty and meaning in the ordinary moments in life such as in the poem "In Rhythm - A Gogyohka."

In the end, Arnold does not leave us without hope. In "Looking Towards Tomorrow" she says:
"our dreams echo within
we all must heed their whisper and call
if we are ever to proceed in our lives
we all must hold faith and believe that
beyond the next horizon awaits our fate
looking towards tomorrow"
Lisa Arnold is the voice of a generation and her "Echoes of My Soul" is bound to become a literary classic.
