"For the last seven years Patricia has been invited to participate as a speaker in the Chosen Ministry Women's Day Program and each year it is with great anticipation that we look forward to what she has to share. Many of the women who attend this program are fans of Patricia's thought-provoking poetry, and with good reason

Her poetry has the ability to touch the secret places within without feeling judgement; there is a deep empathy in Patricia's poems. They are engaging and compelling and lovely and sad in equal measure. There is also a feeling of victory even though that may not always be obvious; however, if you can just hang on to the next page you will be able to feel hope through her words, her phases, her seasons and experiences. The fact that Patricia is able to be so transparent is a rare quality and makes her even more beautiful; she is passionate, deliberate, a champion of many; she is brave.

She speaks her truth, which is both piercing and delicate at the same time, and no matter where you are in life's journey or where you come from, there are elements of her poetry that one can identify with. At our times of deepest reflection, we acknowledge that we have much more in common than we care to realise as her poetry shines the light on some of our untold stories, our unshared pain and the masked areas of our lives. We are fans because Patricia, through her poetry, tells our truth.

I am both honoured and humbled to endorse My Naked Soul an inspirational, courageous and timely must-read book of poetry."
