M Renae Dubois Art And Poetry
M Renae Dubois is a philosopher who uses poetry as her medium, from Brisbane, Australia. Renae's written work is strongly influenced by a head injury she experienced at the age of 16. Much of Renae's early work centres around her positive perceptions of experiences in the sex industry, which she engaged in intermittently for over 30 years. Renae's early poetry includes work on the search for identity, and an independence from traditional and diagnostic structures, as well as other institutionalised thinking. Renae remains defiantly unapologetic, and a work in progress. Recently, she has returned to an earlier interest in painting, and prefers acrylic portraiture.

It's frustrating when I write a poem deep into the night
And I cannot tell someone about it till the morning light
About an hour post penning it, I go back to see
What it is I've written and what it means for me
Regularly revelations, things are brought to bear
Brought to my attention, and brung up for some air
I learn things about my friends and what it means to do
The things we love with whom we care and how we somehow grew
I'm working through my trauma, simply by writing verse
I'm learning about my pain and it's not getting any worse
I'm remembering, I'm dealing with it, I'm sharing with my shrink
And together we work out what it is, I’m supposed to think
It's good me writing poetry, I'm learning about myself
I'm coming to an understanding, it simply can't be helped

No longer writing biographies, the author initially dares the reader to confront her experiences in the sex industry, told in a more matured fashion than earlier work. Some may prefer to avoid such content and begin at Part 3 in this thematically themed book.
