Leslie Bertrand

Leslie Bertrand presents her first collection of poems. A mix of new pieces with those previously shared on social media under her Paradoxical Phoenix nom de plume, it includes many favorites, such as Puzzle Me and A Nurse Reflects. Organized into eight sections, these 148 poems explore the themes of becoming your authentic self, suffering the inevitable damages of life, resisting the system that attacks nature and freedom, loves lost and found, accepting new attitudes and consciousness, and the deep wells of forgiveness and healing.
