I am glass,
But I am not your crystal glass,
Transmitting light beyond its depth,
I hold the beauty of my reflections


I Am Glass is a collection of poems that explores what it means to be human and captures the bittersweet essence of life's moments. The poems speak to a greater truth: we are all similar in the way we love, heal, question, and prevail. The book is broken into six distinct parts with each section providing an intimate look into a facet of human emotion and experience. Julia Weidman offers a balance to her work as she explores opposing themes throughout her collection: romance and heartbreak, introspection and self-empowerment, mortality and invincibility.


With each poem, Julia Weidman reminds us that there is incredible strength in vulnerability. In these pages, the author hopes that we may discover and embrace that we, too, are glass.
