Window and Mirror

By Ted Virts

Book Overview

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.

"So many poignant poems here stop me in my tracks, inviting me to be deeply present with what is offered, and to carry that invitation to situations I contend with beyond the author's reach." --Carol Barrett, Ph.D., author of Reading Wind and Pansies
