Elizabeth's thoughts about her poetry....
"My poems most often have their origin in the delight and
mystery and wisdom I find within the natural world… and
how these processes, these movements of the elements, can be
mirrors to the sort of intra-psychic transformation described
by the world's great mystical traditions (Yoga in its Hindu,
Buddhist, Taoist and Sufi varieties). It is through poetry that
I explore the playful relationships between mind and body
and spirit and world… with the hope of - in some small way,
through the view that my work offers - bringing to them a
greater balance, clarity and freedom.”
