I Am Still Alive

Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk's poetry - so profoundly based on her life's vibrant experiences - has been described as very unique in its ability to exemplify the entire idea in just few words. Before 1969, when Elizabeth left communist oppression of her native Poland and settled in South Florida, she studied philosophy in Warsaw, a city flourishing with the anti-communists, and Bohemian artists. Her encounter with the English language was a love at the first sight. "There is power and profundity in this language. It fascinates me," says Elizabeth, "as a language of great expression in my symbolic-abstract search of description." Elizabeth is a member of the National Writer's Association, South Florida Chapter, as well as the Florida State Poets Association. Her poetry is listed in publications; Great Poets Across America, Best Poets of 2015, 2016 and 2017 and Cadence, the annual Anthology of the Florida State Poets Association. She is the author of three books: In The Eyes Of The Poet, Preparing For Eternity, and now, I Am Still Alive.
