A Glass of Water: A Collection of Poetry and Prose

by Jorry Luz, Mary Clarin, Jewel Dimaya (Illustrator)

In his first-ever published collection of poetry and prose, Jorry Luz illustrates his understanding of the human condition and the universality of themes such as love, loss, life, death, beauty and nature. A Glass of Water is a collection of poetry and prose that uses the classic metaphor of a glass of water and turns it on its head. Instead of seeing life as half full or half empty, as an optimist and a pessimist, respectively, would, the poems in this book use the lens of the realist and the dreamer to illustrate how life as a glass would be brimming constantly. Jorry manages to tie in an array of themes through his works by writing them through the eyes of the two people he has personified over the the realist and the dreamer.
