500 a line is a poetry book. The title of the book is a tongue-in-cheek response to the pressure of wining a 5000 writing commission from Shape (disability arts) as part of the Cultural Olympiad. The original ten-line poem 'Comfortably' was the starting point of the work. Liz performed the final piece at the Southbank in July 2009 as part of the London Literature Festival. The poems are about her experiences from winning the commission to its performance one year later. Themes of the work include her job as a therapist, being in therapy, relationships, separation, bereavement and having multiple sclerosis.
Other poems are work that she has been performing on the UK poetry/comedy/literature circuit for the last 6 years since her last book "Tales in the Deep End" published by Eatlatinanddie books in 2004.
