    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).

    The Poetry of Cats

    The cat. Independent when it wants and making us dependent on its whims when it deems.  Cats are first thought of as being domesticated in the Near East in about 7500 BC.  A few thousand years later in Ancient Egypt they are worshipped as gods.  From a domestic cat’s point of view this is pretty much the life they want and that some cats lead right now.    
      
    Their larger cousins whether in forest, savannah, mountains or desert were fated for their speed, strength, beauty, feline powers and prowess.  They now live in a finely balanced world between freedom and declining numbers as their habitats are destroyed or taken from them.  
     
    Across the centuries poets have written verse that captures all manner of thoughts on our complex relationship with all cats, though mainly the humble moggy, on whose whims we slave over, eager for a look of recognition, the nod of thanks or the purr of gratitude.

    Night & Ox is a long poem working its interruptions to a degree where it's broken by the will to live. A poem that invokes expansive loneliness, where the poet's emotional response is to endure. A crushed line of astral forms and anatomy in perpetual remove; it is a poem that nurtures vulnerability: some soft-footed embryo sounds against language’s viscera. Night & Ox possesses a feral minimalism for those too tired and too frantic with joy to cope with narrative.
    
     
    ‘A fierce, ladderlike cri de cÅ?ur – at times a cri de cur – Night & Ox pulses with sawblade nocturnes that gnaw through the very rungs on which they’re wrung. One part Jabberwocky-talkie, one part fatherhood ode, the poem seeks a threshold, where the “mondayescent�* gives way to ardour, splendour, even love. Scott is a cosmoglot of the throat’s ravine, and this is his manic, pandemonic article of faith.’ – Andrew Zawacki
    
     
    Praise for Blert:
    
     
    ‘Scott takes us down to the basement of words, where sound and rhythm rule, and poets learn their craft. Blert is a strange and gorgeous work of linguistic materialism.' – Dennis Lee

    “The closest thing to a sincerely new brand of poetry to come along in quite some time” from the National Book Award finalist (Pedestal Magazine). 
     
     
    The poems in Sarah Lindsay’s debut, Primate Behavior, have been hailed as “dark-edged . . . with a buoying sense of respect—for the different, the unexpected and the challenging” (Publishers Weekly). Her new collection, Mount Clutter, is the product of an immensely original and exhilarating poetic sensibility, ranging wide across a highly distinctive imaginary landscape. In a voice that is distinctly her own, Lindsay probes the uncharted territories of history’s curious little corners, reanimating obscure accounts of strange discoveries and bizarre scientific findings. A stunning sequence on the discovery of the Bufo Islands imagines what it means to encounter something as yet unnamed, unknown to human history, but bursting with possibilities. Lindsay similarly breathes new life into literary classics and ancient Greek myths, taking, for example, the well-known motif of Orpheus’s descent into the underworld and transforming it into a hauntingly resonant portrait of the vicissitudes of loss. Lindsay’s poems exude an extraordinary ability of fusing the outlandish and the little-known historical minutiae with the unmistakably familiar markers of the human experience. 
     
    “[A] vision that beckons the reader after it into unexpected recognitions.”—W. S. Merwin, Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning poet 
     
    “Lindsay is blessed with the sort of X-ray vision a philosopher would kill for . . . Her poems open doors to other worlds and other ways of seeing.”—The New York Times Book Review 
     
    “Erudite and whimsical.”—Greensboro News & Record
