Smokeless Mirrors , in three volumes, is the first full set of Lauren Coyle Rosen's poetry, written over the years of 2017 through 2022. The poems interlace moving reflections upon the perpetual transmutations of forms to illumine the ever-shifting, kaleidoscopic worlds or truths to be discovered or revealed in sublime or mystical realms. The frame of smokeless mirrors refers to the clarity of visions achieved once the proverbial clouds part, or when the smoke is banished. Coyle Rosen's poetry also resonates with her works on spirituality, art, consciousness, and liberation in prose and in other modalities. These selections of her collected poetic works are set forth in three chronological volumes: At the Altar of the Winds (Volume 1) , A Thousand Lit Streams (Volume 2) , and Storms of Silent Wings (Volume 3) . On Lauren Coyle Rosen’s poetry: “ Lauren Coyle Rosen’s poetry is a gorgeous song and journey towards relentless beauty, breathtaking light, generous spirit — to truths that she stirs – provokes – in us.” — Krishna Lewis, poet and author, Harvard University “ Lauren Coyle Rosen’s poetry is lush with imagery. It’s like entering into a lyrical landscape that leaves one looking into a smokeless mirror, a clear body of water, or a sky. This is vital poetry.” — J. Brent Crosson, professor, University of Texas at Austin, and author of Experiments with Power “ Filled with vision and soul, these poems sing. They revel in language, recalling us to the beauty of words and the world they evoke.” — Christine Desan, Leo Gottlieb Professor, Harvard Law School, and author of Making Money: Coin, Currency, and the Coming of Capitalism “A beautiful collection bathing in Lauren’s imagery … bridges the physical and spiritual world with taut elegance and grace. She guides her reader through Earthly pleasures, through lemon cherry breezes and beyond … to wonders extra-worldly and beyond … to Universal forms. Erudite but open and accessible … welcomes the reader’s take, while singing in subtle rhymes and octet rhythms, keeping time with her moon’s metronymic sway.” — Lady Booth Olson, lawyer and founder On Lauren Coyle Rosen's poetry: "Lauren Coyle Rosen's poetry is lush with imagery.
