Description
The introduction of Window and Mirror begins with a question: What are we doing here? The emphasis is on both the doing and the place. Ted Virts' poetry collection meanders through life experiences with story, blessing, myth, and the day-to-day realities of pain, delight, humor, and wonder. Virts explores life with an undercurrent of curiosity, faith, emotion, loss, hope, acceptance, and presence. His poems link tragedy at the southern U.S. border, the death of his father, the constant plea for political donations, the nightly news, and a description of Christmas as an artichoke. The link? The sacredness of everyday life.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"I used to hate reading poetry until I found modern free verse that, unlike traditional poetry, doesn’t use standard rhyme, rhythm, or meter. Instead, free verse poetry uses ordinary speech patterns and relies on imagery to drive its meaning. Such is the case of a collection of poetry titled Window and Mirror by Ted Virts. In it, the poet explores life experiences concerning loss, faith, and home with simple images that represent concerns and questions common to all of us. The structure of the poems is simple, deceptively so. Each line has breaks or pauses that mimic natural speech where the poet repeats thoughts, questions statements, or even goes off on a tangent or two, just like most people do when they speak. This direct style creates an intimate connection between Virts and his reader." - Readers' Favorite
