Faith in Mirrors - by Houston Heflin (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

There are two sides to every story. These poems reveal these stories with an unexpected twist. Read the poems forwards for one perspective, then read the poems backwards to uncover a new, hidden meaning. This structure may remind you of a palindrome where individual letters spell the same words forwards and backwards, but these poems are unique in two significant ways. First, they are read backwards by word or phrase, not by letter. Second, the backwards reading introduces another voice or perspective. You might be surprised what you find by looking in a mirror at the reflection that's there.
