in this glass prism
From a single ray
to sorted colors,
out of thoughts
and into the world,
all filtered
in this glass prism.
***
"in this glass prism" contains poems inspired by the complexities of the world. From hopeful, inquisitive thoughts to the fears we feel, they are filtered through a prism of our perception.
This is how the world speaks to me through my thoughts, feelings, and just a little too much sympathy.

About the author
Brooke Goodwin
6 books18 followersA (questioning) bisexual a few years away from turning the big 3-0 but you'd never guess it. It must be my eternal youth.
I'm currently obsessed with queer romances, comics, and manga of my favorite anime. Jordon Greene and Robbie Couch are my current favorite authors and I will discuss their books all day if you let me!
If you have recommendations, please let me know! I've got a mile-long TBR but I'm always looking to add more!
I also have short stories published in an anthology, "Behind Closed Doors: Best of Writers Assembled 2017" as well as the author of 3 poetry books - exposed, in this glass prism, and primality.

When you think of poetry, you might think of the Old English language with hard-to-understand words and even-harder-to-understand phrases. You may think of writers who have long since passed. You may think of outdated ideas and backwards methods.
I'd like to change your mind with one book.
"in this glass prism" by Brooke Goodwin is -- dare I say it -- a masterpiece. The careful use of words and her use of empty spaces leaves a significant impact in the readers' minds. I have to admit that I read this book several times not only to experience the joy of reading poetry again, but to experience the joy of reading Brooke Goodwin's poetry again.
I have never read another poet like Brooke Goodwin. Forget about the confusing poems that run you around in circles, and forget about the poems that fail to tell you anything at all. Read poetry that makes you think. Read poetry that makes you feel. Read "in this glass prism".
