A Sharp and Vivid View of the World Through the Eyes of a Poet

Speaking With A Broken Mirror is a collection of introspective poems reflecting the images observed in our daily surroundings, examining aspects of our environment like jagged pieces of a broken mirror.

Author John Rolens reiterates the things ignored or forgotten that connect us, and invites us to feel the rhythm of a pervasive spirit. This exceptional compilation reveals an expressive theme of connectedness with tones of pensive shadows and humorous light. Some of the poems were previously published in a limited edition, Misty- Poems from Email to Diane. Publisher’s website: http://www.eloquentbooks.com/SpeakingWithABrokenMirror.html About the Author: John Rolens was raised in St. Louis, Missouri, the youngest child of three in a blue collar family. After having served three years in the Marine Corps, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Southeast Missouri State University with a double major – Literature and Philosophy. Poetry reflects his experiences as a member of a biracial family, surviving lymphoma and the heartbreak of losing his wife to cancer. John currently resides in the small community of Spanish Lake, about a 40 minute bike ride from the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.
