  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).

  'A garden without a traditional English rose is a cardinal sin – and I committed eight of those before my Ready Brek'
  Nineteen-year-old Pip is trying to find themselves through gardening. But with a dad more interested in plants than people and a mum stuck in the past, they're left to ponder life's questions alone.
  Then one day, they uncover a jacket in the attic that's been gathering dust. Bold, vibrant and very '80s, in its pocket lies a diary belonging to someone long gone. Swept up in the mystery, Pip digs into the past, unearthing secrets about an old friend their parents don't want to discuss…
  Funny, affecting and beautifully queer, Coral Wylie's play Lavender, Hyacinth, Violet, Yew tracks one family's efforts to assuage the past and plant the seeds of a better future. It was shortlisted for the Alfred Fagon Award in 2023 and premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Debbie Hannan and starring Omari Douglas, Pooky Quesnel and Wil Johnson alongside the playwright.

  Before the Stage, There Was the Page: Discover Shakespeare the Poet.
  
  While the world knows William Shakespeare for his legendary plays, it was his sweeping narrative poems that first established him as a literary titan in the eyes of the Elizabethan elite. This collection brings together his longer, epic-style works—masterpieces of desire, betrayal, and political ruin that showcase a level of linguistic ornament and psychological intensity rarely seen on the stage.
  
  This collection explores the pillars of Shakespeare's poetic genius:
  
  The Master of Classical Adaptation: Witness the Bard reimagining the myths of ancient Rome and Greece, breathing fresh, visceral life into tales of tragic desire and legendary honor.
  
  The Psychology of the Verse: Experience the internal monologues of characters caught in moments of extreme crisis, rendered with the same complexity found in his greatest dramatic soliloquies.
  
  Formal Perfection: Explore his command of demanding poetic structures, from the flowing "Sesta Rima" to the stately "Rhyme Royal," demonstrating a technical virtuosity that defined the English Renaissance.
  
  Themes of Power and Virtue: Delve into narratives that examine the corruption of authority and the resilience of the human spirit, serving as a poetic mirror to the political tensions of his time.
  
  Shakespeare's epic poems offer a richer, more descriptive immersion into his world than his scripts alone. They are essential for anyone seeking the full breadth of his literary legacy and linguistic beauty.
  
  Experience the Bard's most intimate and ornate creations. Buy "The Epic Poems of William Shakespeare" today and complete your library of the world's greatest writer.

  Harbinger - Poems

   “The speaker in Shelley Puhak’s Harbinger is no closer to knowing herself than I am, than we are, which is why we trust her. Each similarly titled poem holds a triptych mirror up to the artist and, in so doing, up to us all, so we may better see ourselves as we are. In ever-changing form.” —Nicole Sealey  
  A stunning meditation on artistic creation and historical memory from the winner of the National Poetry Series, chosen by Nicole Sealey 
  From “Portrait of the artist, gaslit” to “Portrait of the artist’s ancestors” to “Portrait of the artist reading a newspaper,” the poems in Harbinger reflect the many facets of the artistic self as well as the myriad influences and experiences that contribute to that identity. 
  “Portrait of the artist as a young man” has long been the default position, but these poems carve out a different vantage point. Seen through the lens of motherhood, of working as a waitress, of watching election results come in, or of simply sitting in a waiting room, making art—and making an artist—is a process wherein historical events collide with lived experience, both deeply personal but also unfailingly political. When we make art, for what (and to whom) are we accountable? And what does art-making demand of us, especially as apocalypse looms? 
  With its surprising insights, Harbinger, the latest book from acclaimed poet Shelley Puhak, shows us the reality of the constantly evolving and unstable self, a portrait of the artist as fragmentary, impressionable, and always in flux.
