Books by Patricia Farrell

Suitable for those who want to replace unhealthy behaviors with actions that bring satisfaction and success - quickly, permanently, and with or without the guidance of a professional therapist. This book includes 10 "power tools" that help readers open their eyes and face reality; grow from their mistakes; and act like the person they want to be.

Dedicated to the poet's mother, this single long poem uses the terminology of art, design and fashion to portray a character and to investigate both its own language and the process of writing poetry. The poetry is sensuous, playful and dynamic, taking the reader along on a dizzying ride through the pleasures of language.

"Via encounters with the troubadour poet Guillaume of Poitiers, Holderlin and the goldsmith Jivan Astfalck, Farrell offers 'new solutions / new songs,' whilst 'provoking new lines of thought.' This work might make us feel 'hardly more than poets and not who we really are' but who cares when 'tongue play makes sense like this'?" - Scott Thurston
