Read Excerpts From The Books
Books by Phebe Spiller
Odyssey Out: Struggling to find out who "me" was while isolated in a secret sect, felt like living in a maze. The only safe place for me to sort things out was through poetry. This selection of narrative poems were written before, during and shortly after my exit from this religious sect.
If you would like to purchase the poetry books by check or

"Rungs of A Ladder"
Steps Out Of Darkness
This is a twelve-step program that I wrote for myself as I moved from a group identity to an individual and personal identity. It was adapted from A Hunger for Healing by Keith Miller.
"Poetry Soup"
Turning Life into a Stew-pot of Adventure
Combining my skills and experience as a professional baker and cook with real life experiences to create a humorous blend of soul soup.
"Life On Tap"
Prayers Under Pressure
The contrast from living in a pressure cooker world where every move, look, emotion, choice of clothing and hair style was scrutinized to facing social and professional pressures as I struggled to find balance in a new world - where I had no history - taught me to retreat deep inside where a rich prayer life developed and spilled out and over into poetry.
Other Books
Snapshots: Moments in Recovery
This selection of narrative poems were actual issues I found myself dealing with in the aftermath of leaving one world and entering a new world, outside all I had ever known.
Moon Beams: A Peek at Feminine Energy
After a life-time of repressing my natural talents, creativity and emotions, I was frightened by the emergence of energy. At first, I channeled this energy into poetry as a way to look at what was going on with me.
Beyond the Mirror: Perceptions of a Woman
As part of a third generation to be raised in the 2X2"s, a religious environment that endorsed gnostic and legalistic practices - especially for woman - it was an emotional epic to start looking beyond the required mandates and search for the woman behind the mask.
