A Bit of Spirit and a Lot of Spit

Description

A Bit of Spirit and a lot of Spit is the emotional and empowering true story from Anna Mae, sharing with you her life experiences of love affairs, life observations and personal loss.

Told from the heart, through a unique blend of prose and poetry, A Bit of Spirit and a lot of Spit was born from popular demand, after a successful poetry roadshow for charity in 2009. Her poems provoked both tears and laughter, in celebration and commemoration of her late son’s 30^th birthday.

Within these pages lies the story between the poems.

Anna Mae, originally from Hertfordshire, now resides on the Essex Coast. She is active in her community, attending writing and poetry groups and is passionate about self-empowerment. Previously she’d worked for Women’s Aid, facilitated creative writing workshops in a prison, a mental health unit, secondary schools and bereavement groups. At the age of 63, some eight years after writing the original manuscript for this book, she attained a BA Honours Degree in Creative Writing.
