This book of 120 non-fiction poems is written in chronological order. It is a
story of survival, of breaking the chains of inner demons, finding value and
purpose in life and growing towards understanding - but not quite reaching
it. The poems also embrace the environment and question society. Towards
Understanding will reach today's female audience because it is a true story of
a young woman growing through childhood trauma, being independent at
age 13, moving through healing and finding self worth.
Follow the author as she battles her past demons, raises her voice in
anger, discovers self-awareness and recovers from and intense relationship
bordering on obsession. You will witness the healing, as she becomes aware
of the value of her life and falls deeply in love with a wholesome man. Finally,
able to see beyond herself she starts to question society and endeavors to
understand others. She discovers a love for nature and a dedication to the
health of the Earth.
As is evident, the author has fun experimenting with different writing
styles and altering rhythms with words. Lillian Brummet's award winning
poetry has appeared in five hardcover anthology books and several
publications throughout North america. She has had the honor of attaining
"Editor's Choice Award for outstanding Achievement in Poetry", not once - but
twice.
Lillian has recently co-authored an environmental book, Trash Talk with
her husband, Dave. Their articles continue to appear in publications across
the North America. Currently, this industrious pair are co-authoring their
third book. Lillian also finds time in her busy schedule to write book reviews
professionally.
