The Mirror, The Mask, and All I Ask - Paperback

by El Hoffman (Author)

What if the version of you the world sees... isn't actually you?

From the author of The Ever-Dark and No Other Reason comes a deeply personal poetry collection about identity, perception, and the cost of being misunderstood.

The Mirror, The Mask, and All I Ask explores what it means to exist in a world that asks you to soften, shrink, or reshape yourself to fit. Through raw, modern reflections, El Hoffman captures the experience of masking, mirroring others, losing yourself in love, and trying to find your way back.

Honest, sharp, and quietly vulnerable, this collection is for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misread, or forced to become someone else just to belong.
