Unleashed
With a hearty dose of humility and humor, Unleashed is a book of diversified poems and drawings primarily taken from a variety of life experiences, traumas, and events that have happened over a lifetime.
Betty Nadine Thomas writes about love, acceptance of all people, and of course laughter. From dryer lint bunnies to the 1960s Haight-Ashbury scene to spirit guides, her poems are unique, funny, truthful, and pointed. Some are serious, while others are lighthearted. Occasionally controversial and always multidimensional, Unleashed is what happens when “just an old Crone” finds her voice, creativity, and power.
For fans of poetry and art and readers in the LGTBQ+ communities.

Review
“In Unleashed, Betty Nadine Thomas takes us along on her artistic, poetic, and sometimes comical journey to self-realization; from her Betty Wetty maidenhood to the tempered status of Betty Spaghetti, the aged crone develops resilience. She claims to still be ‘fucked up, neurotic and insecure’ but shares the wisdom and strength of purpose gathered along the way in her verses. ‘Don’t miss one second of it. Things change fast.’ Betty echoes the pop culture of 80s icon Ferris Bueller, but she mourns the loss of the rebellious pot culture of the 60s. Betty Nadine Thomas covers a lot of ground in Unleashed, a lifetime indeed.”
—Stephen Kastner, founder of Green Mountain Writers Group and media consultant at DesignWise Studios
