What I Learned: Poems by Elizabeth S. Wolf

“There is a story on the front page of the paper-we read names-we take in dates. Elizabeth takes in breath-takes in heart. Rewrites the stories in our (her) own blood. I understand them better this way: What I Learned is a powerful debut full of strength and perseverance of the human spirit.”

“Elizabeth reminds us the human race is a beating heart, teaches us about pain and loss. Writes with perseverance, understanding and love. These are the best lessons to know: What I Learned is a necessary read.”

–Susan LaFortune, author of Talking In My Sleep

“Take off your shoes because you are about to open this book and walk onto holy ground. Elizabeth S. Wolf, with perception above and beyond all reason, shows us how to be more compassionate, more empathetic, and more human than are before we take this journey with her.”

— Mary Ellen D’Angelo-Lombari, teacher, performance poet, writer
