Verde Valley Caregivers Coalition Neighbor Liz has been fond of poetry her entire life, but only lightly dabbled when the mood struck her.
It wasn’t until she turned 79 — when some might expect her to slow down — that she decided to join a poetry group and pursue a new hobby. After living a long and filled life as a mother, therapist, and lover of Sedona’s magic, she has a lifetime of experiences to use as inspiration for verse.
She has self-published a poetry book titled, “Beyond Each Horizon.” The poems range from topics about family and friends, significant memories, the life and loss of her partner, and more. She hopes that when people read her poems, they can find comfort.
“If they identify with something — emotionally identify with it — then they’re not alone,” Liz said. “They’re not alone sitting in their house, in their room, not wanting to get dressed."
