    About this ebook

    With a hearty dose of humility and humor, Unleashed is a book of diversified poems and drawings primarily taken from a variety of life experiences, traumas, and events that have happened over a lifetime. Betty Nadine Thomas writes about love, acceptance of all people, and of course laughter. From dryer lint bunnies to the 1960s Haight-Ashbury scene to spirit guides, her poems are unique, funny, truthful, and pointed. Some are serious, while others are lighthearted. Occasionally controversial and always multidimensional, Unleashed is what happens when "just an old Crone" finds her voice, creativity, and power.

      Chris Martin from Coldplay is known for being deeper and wiser than his years. He’s never fallen into the ‘celebrity trap’. This is because he was once Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and was a composer then too. But as a philosopher in the 1700s he also brou

      Unleashed - Betty Nadine Thomas

      unleashed_Front.jpg

      Praise

      "Betty Nadine Thomas’s lovingly self-illustrated book of poems, Unleashed, takes the reader on a refreshingly profane and irreverent ride along the twists and turns of living life to the fullest. Thomas pulls no punches in this collection, and if you don’t like it she’d say, ‘go fuck yourself,’ and does. That aside, she finds a delicious balance between beautiful profound moments and terrible torments, from which she always provides a retreat through new perspectives. ‘Forget yesterday,’ she writes, ‘it’s gone/ Look forward.’ Digging into the memories of her history, she encourages us to look deeper into our own pasts, and inspires us to uncover the wisdom from there, helping us move with alertness, following ‘the path back into the light.’"

      —Buffy Aakaash, author of Untangling the Knots

      "Betty Nadine Thomas’s newest poetry chapbook, Unleashed, is exactly that! Brave, raw, and empowering, her poetry speaks
