Very cool epilepsy new poetry book


There's a very cool new book of poetry out by Maggie Mendus. It's called "Broken Consciousness" Reflections of an Epileptic.

I just finished reading it and as the reviews say: "Hauntingly accurate descriptions written from the patient perspective capture the true emotions evoked by epilesy. Conveying frustration, fear, strength, hope and courage, this is a must read for anyone touched by epilepsy, whether patient, family, friend or health care professional. After working with epilepsy patients for years, I see how these poems will launch our perspective and understanding into a new light. Brilliant and insightful. A must read!"

Available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, etc.

Cindy, you are correct. We have some extraordinary poets right here. There is a publishing site called LuLu.com. If any writer here is interested
they will put together a booklet of your poems which can be sold over the internet. These days nearly all authors publicized their books in this way.

I would would suggest that any writer, here, should look into this very contempory means of selling your works. I belong to a Wrtiting Forum and have seen the very professional results that LuLu.com has offered.

PS Phylis, your recommended read sounds great. Thank you for informing us.

Phylis, ask her to join CWE and put some of her copywrited poems right here. I am sure that they are copyrighted. Therefore, we cannot print them. Only she can.
