About the Book

In this second collection of poems, author Alise Versella takes to the mirror. Self reflecting on the images of herself, her world, and the person who was once a part of it. In beautiful prose she shatters the mirror and lets us read through the pieces. Undoubtedly bringing to light the very images we all wake up every morning to face.

About the Author

Born in New York and raised in New Jersey, Alise has always had a fondness for notebooks. Every trip to the drugstore with Grandpa resulted in the purchase of yet another Meade notebook. That infatuation with the crisp, clean pages of yet to be filled notebooks, and a voracious appetite for reading, grew into a desire to write poetry that would express what was in her heart. These poems are imaginative, inspirational, and thought provoking. High school and community colleges have awarded her with Teen Art Festival accolades and honor awards for creative writing two years in a row. People come and go out of our lives, but Alise believes they imprint something of themselves onto us. That impression leaves us to re-evaluate ourselves. Our reflections muddy for a moment and we must re-asses. People change us undoubtedly, but through her poems at least this young author will never lose herself.
