About the Book My Reflection In The Mirror is about looking at oneself more deeply than what is seen from an outside appearance. It helps a person look past their eyes and discover their inner self and who they really are. This collection of poetry enables the reader to become more aware of how they can better relate to the culture and society surrounding their everyday life. About the Author Charles A.
