The Book of Mirrors Summary

The Book of Mirrors by Yun Wang

The Book of Mirrors is a silver portal opening to the hidden garden of a fragrant universe.

The Book of Mirrors by Yun Wang takes the reader on a journey of enlightenment through unexpected discoveries and heartbreaks. This adventure spans different realms: the ancient and the present, the physical and the metaphysical, poetry and science. It is an insistent search for truth, goodness, and beauty, within the scope of the infinite universe.

The Book of Mirrors Reviews

Her poems are not only beautiful, but astounding in their richness of information, news, glimpses, and inklings from more dimensions of world and mind than I can account for. Each poem is a potent nexus of imagination, memory, and piercing analysis. Yun Wang is a seer. -Li-Young Lee
In Yun Wang's The Book of Mirrors, a silver portal opens to the hidden garden of a fragrant universe. Myths, tales, and lyrical excavations reveal passageways that traverse inner and outer spaces humming with desire. Her collection is a generous invitation: each poem is a threshold to a world within a world. -Jennifer Kwon Dobbs, judge
