Reseña del libro "Conversations in a Mirror on a Ladder (en Inglés)"
This is not (just) a poetry book. It is not your colloquial collection of contemporary prose. This is relatable, authentic, introspective creative therapy authored to heal, and inspire us. On Christmas Eve of 1990, my mom went to the hospital. At 8 years old, I had no idea that was the last time I would ever see her. When she died, I disappeared. I went “somewhere else” I went “nowhere”. Twenty-seven years and countless blocked memories later, I still find myself listening for the doorbell, hoping it’s her finger that pressed the button. I have always been one to compartmentalize my emotions, but conversations in the mirror have helped me climb the ladder; from “nowhere”. Life is good, but it has a mean undertone. Through photography as well as the art of creative writing, I share my thoughts and experiences on death, divorcing religion, racism, prejudice, doubt, self-worth, mental health and love. Conversations in a Mirror on a Ladder is a daily good-read. I wrote this for generations past, present and future. Equipped with inspiration and affirmations, this editorial experience was beautifully crafted to foster the spiritual and mental resiliency needed to help us climb the ladder.
