<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A poetry collection reflecting the universal themes and life passages of women, taking readers along on a courageous journey of navigation and discovery.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Poetry has the power to help us deeply connect with others while accessing our higher selves. At its best, poetry can act as a reflective mirror and catalyst for personal growth and societal change. <em>Charting the Lost Continent </em>comes at a time in history when its message is more important than ever as both men and women collectively work toward female empowerment, self-acceptance, and gender equality. The author has arranged this collection in sections that reflect the universal themes and life passages of women, taking readers along on a courageous journey of navigation and discovery.</p><p>Linda Albert is an internationally published award-winning poet, essayist, and former theater director. A certified Jungian Archetypal Pattern Analyst and communication coach with a Master Certification in Neurolinguistics, Linda's poetry is influenced by her interest and academic training in those areas as well as by the changing roles of contemporary women and her personal joys, struggles, and insights. Her awards include the Olivet and Dyer-Ives Foundation Poetry Prizes and the Atlanta Review's International Merit Award for poetry.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>"Poems filled with feminine strength and power.
