Nick Hale's first collection of poetry, Broken Reflections, is a collection of poetry of the unexpected. Nick Mixes humor and seriousness to break readers' expectations with a surprise on every page. www.localgemspoetrypress.com "Right from the author's plea not to read further. and I dare you not to continue. a mystique vines through lines, settles into stanzas, fills white space with philosophical possibilities the author begs you not to infer his place in. but you must, as you must also read yourself into these poems. Revelations skitter from page to page, humor leaps up, the profound echoes. These poems are life unfolding in ways you may never have imagined. Read on. and imagine." J R Turek Bards Laureate 2013-2014, poet, editor, workshop leader
