All His beautiful sadness, intelligent madness, is now inspired by God, fueled by lovers, and motivated by life.

The theme of love is prevalent throughout the entire collection; however, this work is also varied and distinctive, incorporating contrasting styles and forms of poetry and discussing different manifestations and types of love. The Emotional Soldier employs informal, often colloquial language, including elements of slang, which has the effect of rendering the collection personal and accessible. He also displays a skillful use of imagery and metaphor to ensure that emotions, which are the primary inspirations for these poems, are vividly and distinctively expressed throughout the whole of this collection.
