goosesong

by Elizabeth Ann

In her third poetry collection, Elizabeth Ann cultivates witness to the intersections and complexities of trauma recovery, rebuilding after brain injury, deconstructing childhood faith, fiercely tender hope, and facilitating social justice work. Within goosesong are poetic reveries about hatching from that which is given us, growing into our feathers, and molting as necessary so we may soar above the heartaches of life. It is of distinct truth that the only sound Elizabeth never despises is the symphony of goosesong.

About the author

Hi, I'm Elizabeth;

I love reading. Whether for escaping, awakening imagination, expanding awareness, or healing, I revere the power of literature. In the past ten years or so, I have become a voracious consumer of non-fiction; poetry collections, academic papers, essays, & magazine articles have all acted as guideposts through trauma recovery, parenting, career building, and self-nurture. While in university, I completed a certification in bibliotherapy, an experience that further pulsed yearning to use literature to help others on their healing journeys. Most recently, I remembered through reflection after a therapy session that I loved reading fiction as a young girl. In the hectic chaos of my teen years and accompanying adulthood, I had forgotten this simple truth about myself, so in a quest to reconnect with my inner child, I have taken to reading fiction again, and find my time spent in stories to be sweetly sacred.

My website, exhalations by elizabeth ann, is a dwelling to honor the out breath of those that have inspired me, and a home to compile my own ponderings & experiences in both word and photograph.
