The Looking Glass - Antonia Alexandra Klimenko

In Antonia Alexandra Klimenko's second collection of poetry, The Looking Glass, the always daring poetess continues to speak truths both personal and universal. For it is so often in sharing one's specific experience that they find their words resonate with the general experience of others. Whether she's discussing traumas of her past (e.g., "Where Does the Sky Begin?") or the simultaneous wonders and pratfalls of falling in love (or even just lust), Klimenko dives into her emotions wholeheartedly throughout this collection. And, in turn, leaves her reader just as affected and awestruck as she did with her debut, On the Way to Invisible.
