Mirror Made of Words

By Dario Cvencek

Mirror Made of Words weaves sound, form, and emotion into a lyrical exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery. Dario reimagines familiar wisdom through fresh experience, blending innovative form with intimate reflection. - Sarah Rooney, author of Mother Media Dario Cvencek's second, full-length poetry collection Mirror Made of Words is reflective and observational-a book of mirrors and scars eruditely explored in a world of light and love, beyond the haunted chaos of his breakout collection PTSD Martini. Cvencek's work-in its simplicity and its decadence-reminds us that our scars are what holds the fabric of our lives together, not the individual threads, because in them, our scars, true strength resides-the beauty beneath the ugliness. His use of rhyme is brave and refreshing. Each poem, a bloom in life's battlefield. - David Estringel, editor-in-chief of Blood+Honey and The Argyle Literary Magazine I can hear the song that plays in Dario's heart now. The words in these poems are cosmic and uncontrollable, and if you take off the headphones and look out the window, you'll hear it too. The roar is holy and prophetically terrifying. - Scott Laudati, author of Play the Devil Mirror Made of Words is a collection of poetry that explores the overarching themes of self-reflection and self-discovery. These are poems about the search for meaning, love, pain, healing, self-acceptance, nature, and growth. They seek to question, challenge, deconstruct, illuminate, and uplift. The verses are the authors' enclave through the identity storms needed for the process of integration to take its course. Laid out bare are the emotional and philosophical struggles of the narrator, whose voice is at times curiously tender, and at times prophetically harsh. The emotions are often expressed meta-physically, with vivid comparisons. An emphasis is placed on the rhythm and the sound patterns to accentuate moods; sublime and spiritual, the words in and of themselves strive to make music.
