Poems of Defiance, Joy & Liberation
A Bold and Lyrical Poetry Collection on Aging, Freedom, and Living Fully

Find yourself a quiet, comfortable space. Put your hand over your heart and feel it beat. Now you are ready to open this book. In its pages you will find a vibrant and fearless collection that celebrates the freedom to live boldly at any age. Like a Bird Released by Naomi Thiers is a powerful fifth collection of thirty-seven new poems that soar with defiance, joy, belonging, and hard-won wisdom.

Drawing from family stories, a fiery grandmother, a stubborn great aunt, and her own resilient spirit, Thiers writes with clarity, humor, and deep insight — urging us toward pleasure, disobedience when needed, and a full embrace of life.

This is not quiet or conformist poetry — it is alive with voice, courage, and the liberating spirit of a bird taking flight.

Why This Book Stands Out
Like a Bird Released stands out for its bold spirit and masterful craft. Naomi Thiers transforms personal and family experience into universal poems that reject mediocrity and affirm the right to joy, even in the face of sorrow, age, or limitation.

·      Fifth poetry collection by Naomi Thiers, a gifted and insightful poet

·      Features vivid “Golden Shovel” poems alongside other striking forms

·      Strong praise from notable poets including Jean Nordhaus, Joseph Ross, and Regie Cabico

·      Themes of defiance, aging, family legacy, pleasure, and resilience

·      A clear, confident voice that affirms poetry’s role in the need to be truly seen

This is a collection for readers who want poetry that inspires courage and celebrates life.

More Than a Book—A Meaningful Experience
Like a Bird Released is the kind of book you return to when you need reminding of your own strength and freedom. Perfect for quiet mornings, moments of reflection, or when you need a poetic push toward joy and authenticity.

It makes a wonderful gift for poetry lovers, women navigating life transitions, feminists, or anyone seeking inspiration to live more boldly and freely.

Author Note
“Naomi Thiers dares to gaze at her life with a bird’s eye view that is lyrical, jubilant, and fearless.”

Like a Bird Released reminds us that we are not alone — we are born from resilient ancestors, and poetry will hold us up.

— Regie Cabico
