Sinopse

‘Talisman for the Soul’ is an immersive and illuminating collection that expresses a powerful intensity of emotion, exploring overarching themes of human interaction, as well as the human need to transform and adapt as individuals. Written by a poet of rare descriptive power, the poems speak to a world of increasing disconnection, one that is careering towards climate breakdown and ecological destruction. The poems seek to reconnect with the mystery and sacredness of human life by exploring the foundations of human identity through themes that touch us all: love and loss, humour, beauty, joy, relationships, and the natural world.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    The dreaming spires of Cambridge may be one of the great educational establishments of the Centuries.  But it is also a place where the Nation’s young learn much more.  Within its walls, courtyards and cloisters these 10 Poets mused and illuminated on the beauty of poetry with eager yet tender words.

    A master of documentary poetry, Erika Meitner takes up the question of desire and intimacy in her latest collection of poems.In her previous five collections of poetry, Erika Meitner has established herself as one of America’s most incisive observers, cherished for her remarkable ability to temper catastrophe with tenderness. In her newest collection Useful Junk, Meitner considers what it means to be a sexual being in a world that sees women as invisible—as mothers, customers, passengers, worshippers, wives. These poems render our changing bodies as real and alive, shaped by the sense memories of long-lost lovers and the still thrilling touch of a spouse after years of parenthood, affirming that we are made of every intimate moment we have ever had. Letter poems to a younger poet interspersed throughout the collection question desire itself and how new technologies—Uber, sexting, Instagram—are reframing self-image and shifting the ratios of risk and reward in erotic encounters.With dauntless vulnerability, Meitner travels a world of strip malls, supermarkets, and subway platforms, remaining porous and open to the world, always returning to the intimacies rooted deep within the self as a shout against the dying earth. Boldly affirming that pleasure is a vital form of knowledge, Useful Junk reminds us that our selves are made real and beautiful by our embodied experiences and that our desire is what keeps us alive.

    Dr. Liz’ Pocket Book of Poems is subtitled a companion to Dr. Liz’ Life Launch series, which includes her Amazon #1, multi-international, best-selling memoir: Life Launch! Surviving the Storms of Physical and Sexual Abuse, Book One, and soon to be published Life Launch! Book 2: A New Dawn of Healing and Recovery. 
    In Dr. Liz’ Pocketbook of Poems, Book 3, she shares with her reader her entire body of poetry that she has written since she was 12 years old. The majority of these works were written as an outlet to self-soothe during her own teen and young adult years that Dr. Liz recounted in her best-selling memoir: living in abusive environments; navigating the tragic, accidental death of her older, only brother and other family and friends’ suicides; and her own struggles with drug and alcohol abuse. Indeed, in this book she shares through rhyme and prose her struggle to make sense of these traumatic experiences, and further, how they fuel her desire to help others (YOU) find hope, healing and a renewed passion for your lives and know that you are not alone in your journey. 
    This is Book Three of a 3-book series. Life Launch! Book Two (coming soon) will reveal the struggles Dr. Liz overcame during the 2nd half of her life: the suicide of her husband, the death of her father, abusive relationships, and being engaged at one time to a man who later became the Butcher of Brooklyn. 
    15% OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITIES THAT SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH (through the author’s own BJD Memorial Rainbow of Hope Charitable Foundation for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention that she established in memory of her husband, as well as too many friends and family members, who died by suicide or other tragic means).
