The Looking Glass
Glimpses of Life Through Poetry
by
Lisa Sherk
After a long day, relaxing on the couch with a cup of tea and a book can be the perfect way to unwind. The Looking Glass evokes this comfort: stormy weather outside and you, the reader, warm and cozy inside. This collection of rhyming and free verse poetry navigates meditations on nature, God, and love in its varied forms. Through her thirty-six years as a critical care registered nurse, poet Lisa Sherk has witnessed many miracles and profound heartache. This balance is evident in these poems: with despair comes hope; with sorrow comes joy. The Looking Glass illuminates the intricacies of a poet’s life but transcends the boundaries of individual experience. Each poem is accompanied with an image, a further reflection on the themes of grief, loss, spirituality, and connectivity. An enduring sense of faith and peace radiate from the pages. Their calmness and strength, like waves greeting a shoreline, draw you in.
Lisa Sherk is a critical care registered nurse, mother, grandmother, teacher, and musician. Since childhood, Lisa has had a passion for writing. This has generated her first book of poems, The Looking Glass. She hopes readers will connect with this collection like an old friend, words they can return to time and time again, offering hope, peace, and strength. When she’s not working on her second book of poetry and other creative projects, she enjoys kayaking, collecting beach glass, and walking along the lake she lives near. As a member of her local church, Lisa sings and plays piano, leading the music on Sunday mornings. You can connect with her online through Facebook and Instagram. She lives in Port Colborne, Ontario, with the love of her life, Ervin.
