I am working on a new chapbook of poems entitled, "Voices Unheard." For twenty years I was a psychotherapist with a private practice. The majority of my clients were battered women, overt and covert sexual abuse victims, and people dealing with addictions from food, alcohol, drugs, and sex. These poems are the voices of my clients. Some poems are a combination of clients facing the same issues. The He/she has been changed to protect the innocent and the guilty.
You will see [Voices Unheard] in the title, which will identify these poems.
Political Poetry and Reflections on Life & Loss poetry is written in an uncommon lyrically staccato style ~ Poetry that is easily understandable, but sometimes hard to hear.
