distorted mirror: truth scars can't cover

By Lesli Black

distorted mirror is a poetry collection about identity, survival, and the quiet aftermath of becoming someone you had to be. written in fragments, there poems trace the spaces between harm and healing, memory and meaning, silence and voice.

this book does not offer easy resolutions. instead, it sits with the unresolved. it speaks to those who learned to live alongside their wounds, who were never given language and had to invent their own.

moving through themes of trauma, grief, love, selfhood, and reclamation, distorted mirror invites the reader to look closely. not to fix what they see, but to recognize it.

if you have ever searched for yourself in reflection and found something unfamiliar staring back, this book was written with you in mind.
