Dr. Liz's Pocketbook of Poems is subtitled a companion to Dr. Liz' Life Launch series, which includes her Amazon number one international (in four countries) 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's Pocketbook of Poems, she shares with her listener her entire body of poetry that she has penned since she was 12-years-old. The majority of these works were written as an outlet to self-soothe during the teen and young adult years 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.
This is Book Three of a three-book series. Life Launch! Book Two (coming soon) will reveal the struggles Dr. Liz overcame during the second 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.In Dr. Liz's Pocketbook of Poems, she shares through rhyme and prose her struggles to understand the traumatic experiences she faced, as a teen and young adult.
