The first positive point Virts’ short collection of poetry scores is that it is accessible in its approach and theming-- the variety of topics and themes explored, centering around everyday life, make it an engaging read. More than anything, "Window and Mirror" is relatable and heartfelt, and while it may not be anything to write home about, it shows enough of a glimpse of a budding poet to merit following Virts and his future works.

Each poem in this small book deserves a moment to pause, reflect and appreciate the thoughts that went into creating it. Some of them brought to my mind the thought that they are almost Zen-like in nature.

This wasn't quite what I imagined it to be based on the title and cover art. There are some really good poems in the collection - my favourite is about the pandemic - and I could tell this is a very personal collection and a labour of love for Virts. Overall, an interesting read.
