The Looking Glass: Glimpses of Life Through Poetry

After a long day, relaxing on the couch with a cup of tea and a book can be the perfect way to unwind. The Looking Glass evokes this comfort: stormy weather outside and you, the reader, warm and cozy inside. This collection of rhyming and free verse poetry navigates meditations on nature, God, and love in its varied forms. Through her thirty-six years as a critical care registered nurse, poet Lisa Sherk has witnessed many miracles and profound heartache. This balance is evident in these poems: with despair comes hope; with sorrow comes joy. The Looking Glass illuminates the intricacies of a poet's life but transcends the boundaries of individual experience. Each poem is accompanied with an image, a further reflection on the themes of grief, loss, spirituality, and connectivity. An enduring sense of faith and peace radiate from the pages. Their calmness and strength, like waves greeting a shoreline, draw you in.
