Herron book cover

Poetry for the Ear of God: Healing Trauma Through the Music of Words.

by Elizabeth Herron

This book of poetry describes a lifelong journey of healing childhood trauma through developing a deep and abiding personal spirituality. Traumatic experiences are best understood as part of a spiritual process of transformation in which one goes through a series of stages. This book provides a metaphorical and poetic road map through the difficult experience of traumatic suffering and reframes it as a spiritually inspired and guided process. Liz Herron says: “I am a Wounded Healer and my goal is to share my experience, strength and hope with others who are making similar journeys.” She goes on to say: "One of the metaphors that appears in my poetry is a linking of our psychological process to the movement of the seasons in nature and the recognition of an obvious truth--Spring inevitably follows Winter."

Price: $12.95 paper back edition

9 x 6 x.02 inches, 86 pages
