Description: Whatever the country, most women will identify with Liz's poetry as she explores the tapestry of women's daily lives in more than 100 witty and bittersweet poems in her own unique style, original, provocative, and often with a devilish sting in the tail. Dealing with the frustrations and disappointments along with the joys and pleasures of life, Liz is delighted when readers say to her I don't normally like poetry, but I really love this.
