Elizabeth C. Worder has no nationality. She sees herself as both a survivor and a healer. And also a poet.
For complex reasons she was unable to secure a conventional ‘education’ but is today the holder of many certificates and diplomas in Creative Writing, Dance, Developed Drama, Mime, Photography, Healing, Dressage and Bassoon.
Though technically single, she is spiritually married to History – where many of her previous lives occurred.
In her present life she has worked as an art gallery manager, tour guide, creative writing group facilitator and English language teacher (with all the problems that that brought). She no longer works, refusing to compromise with society’s demands.
In her poetry she hopes to confront and liberate inner truths and voices.
On the Scala at Ravello
If I should fall
let it be not a slip
or a stumble
let it be a great thing
like a symphony
If I should fall
let it not be
an accident
but Art
If I should fall
the entire half kilometre
from your highest
to your lowest point
and find myself
all broken
and dead
at Ravello
Then ask this question:
How did I get round the bends?
