What People Are Saying
“‘Looking Glass’ is refreshingly kinetic, emotionally vulnerable, and unpretentiously sophisticated; it transports and challenges us in ways that poems seldom do. The craft is tight, the imagery vivid. This intimate meditation on the presence of absence—and the absence of presence—bears fruit in beautiful and unexpected ways. ‘Looking Glass’ is a gift that keeps on giving; we discover more about it, and ourselves, with every reading.” – Jeff and Jason from Sky Island Journal (Forthcoming Spring 2026)
