Having the Opportunity
to Peacefully Exist
(2025)
In Having the Opportunity to Peacefully Exist, Elizabeth Shane presents a powerful collection of poetry that delves into the intricate landscape of trauma and abuse, using rhythm, colour and symbolic expression to navigate the often-silent wounds of conflict, injustice and inner turmoil. Elizabeth captures the essence of survival, illuminating the hidden depths of pain and loss while celebrating solidarity, empowerment, renewal and hope.
With collective strength and light, she underscores the importance of finding joy in everyday moments and the profound connections we forge with one another. Having the Opportunity to Peacefully Exist is a testament to the power of surviving—and thriving—through the act of poetic truth-telling.
Your poems and prose are so incredibly profound and moving. I am sure they will provide very much needed comfort and solace to other victims of child abuse.
