–– In this
brave new world, heartbreaks and personal tragedies affect us all deeply. Whether
grieving a loved one, escaping abuse, or surviving a global crisis. We may move
on ultimately to a new chapter, but we do not ignore or forget the past, and we
certainly do not remain unscathed.

Just
recently, Anna Grace Du Noyer released three life-affirming chapters of
poetry and prose in her book. Fear is a Liar. The book tells a story of
crisis, loss, and survival, and the ultimate impact of love and hope.
"Poems
have the power to translate unspeakable stories into something people can comprehend.
For the poet, this means looking at the trauma right in the face!," commented
Du Noyer. "Poems are vehicles for compassion. Sometimes that means compassion
for yourself," she added.
Du Noyer is
best known for her poetry collections of major life and World events. Her writing
ranges from explicit and poignant compositions to abstract, free verse,
providing a poem for every emotion experienced during prolonged periods of
crisis.
Revealing a
little of the author's complex life-story, the new book explores topics such as
abuse, domestic violence, grief, loneliness, and rebellion. But it's not all doom and gloom. A silver-lining
of optimism runs throughout each chapter, with a layer of sarcasm and dry-wit added
for good measure.
"I
hope that the poems can benefit others - particularly women and girls. Perhaps a
small step in learning to live with their ordeals, and to own them. Being angry
is ok! Laughing is fine too - it's your experience – and it doesn't define you,"
Du Noyer said.
The
timing of the book couldn't be more apt. As the world emerges from a global
crisis, Du Noyer believes the Pandemic has shone a light on trauma - whether the
collective suffering from this generation-defining crisis or personal traumas, amplified
by the uniqueness of the situation.
"The
coronavirus pandemic has acted as a global trigger-warning!" She says. "It
has ignited long-suppressed
feelings, for many, and it would not surprise me if it caused a mental health
pandemic."
In the final chapter
of Fear is a Liar, Du Noyer observes the
impact of the virus on the fragile human spirit, expressed through poetry, making
this book a compelling, must-read for 2020.
Both books will
be released to Audible and iTunes in August 2020, for the beautiful and full
impact of the spoken word.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Du Noyer's experiences in early life and young adulthood influence themes within her collections.
Growing up in the British countryside, as the daughter of a geologist, metaphors of mountainous landscapes and stark scenes in nature feature heavily in her poetry.
Du Noyer's poetry is an antidote to the excesses of civilisation, exploring and reflecting on often unnoticed but profound details in the natural world.
Best known for her poetry journals of major life and world events, her writing ranges from stark and moving elegies to abstract, descorts and free verse. Occasional, humorous, epigrams provide a poem for every feeling experienced during prolonged periods of crisis such as the death of a parent or a global pandemic - two major themes in her recent work.
Du Noyer's largest collection of poetry was written during her mother's battle with terminal brain cancer. And in her book Poems of the Pandemic, she explores themes surrounding the 2020 global coronavirus outbreak.
Her observations on the flaws and nuances of the human condition help create a rounded story of life through her lense.
