Halfway Friends for Decades, by Elizabeth Carmer

Halfway Friends for Decades by Elizabeth Carmer is the author’s
personal approach to reaching an audience. This poetry collection
creates a narrative written for the reader by exploring her own recent
and distant experiences. The poems are written with a philosophical
approach in a traditional style. The book seeks to portray a
contemporary reflection on society as a whole and the unique situation
of being an individual within that realm.

“They Are Almost Invisible is a collection of poems written about
childhood and the transition to adulthood, with a special focus on
adolescence, that strange time lost in between. At times serious, at
times comic, and always a bit pleasantly eccentric, this new collection
from Elizabeth Carmer is endlessly surprising.” – Nick Courtright,

“To describe Elizabeth Carmer’s poetry I kept wanting to write poetry.
Her poems don’t attempt to solve mysteries, but reveal them. As I read
and moved through her world, I felt an anticipation build. At times I
found myself laughing from surprise and delight at the audacity of her
word play, like watching someone use a musical instrument in some
completely unconventional way. It’s not just Elizabeth’s style of writing
that’s so unique, it’s the way she thinks. Her poems don’t just beg to be
read, but studied. And you’ll find yourself reaching for pen and paper, to
write, to decipher her fascinating code.” — Mike Nelson, Portsmouth
