Broken mirrors shattered glass If you can look past all the cracks You might find something staring back
Inspired by the idea of her first publication, the 100 PoemsCollection by Angelina Scriptor is a series of poetry books created to tell the stories of life. Each book, consisting of 100 poems, focuses on some theme present throughout the persistent and ever-changing journey of life, whether love, loss, growth, change, the passage of time, trials, or a fitting mixture of all of these and more.
Broken Mirrors is the first poetry book in the 100 Poems Collection. It urges the reader to more deeply explore the stories before them, setting the stage for the books to come. While other themes are certainly present, Broken Mirrors primarily includes lessons of looking deeper, cautionary tales in verse, and encouragement to find yourself.
These works may be read in any desired order, along with the poems themselves. As Scriptor writes within the pages, “Find what calls to you, and listen.”
I’ll admit that I’m not usually someone who enjoys poetry a whole lot, but even with that preference, this book was excellent. It’s the kind of thing to read in one sitting and then go back over and over to trace through every line and find the hidden intricacies you missed before. Scriptor’s words are filled with raw honesty, poignant imagery, and glimmers of hope. Looking forward to the next installment of this collection!
