About this ebook
Of Masks and Mirrors is a collection of poetry written over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. A year that has struck the entire world deeply but has more than ever taught us the value of art – be it literature, music, visual art, or poetry. This collection has sought to combine reverence for the past greats and the long-standing tradition of English literature with a sense of actuality and innovation. Traditional form and meter are indispensable to Capelle’s verse and style of writing. This work is to be a journey through a world where the territory is not always tranquil and safe, at times even treacherous and completely lost in archaism. This journey, however, will always find herself back in the marvels, wonders and miracles of (human) nature and whatever beauty it is that we have been granted possession over. Its purpose is very much to console, reassure and comfort every soul that comes along, as literature has always managed to do.
About the author
Fenna Capelle is a 19-year-old poet and student of English literature, linguistics and rhetoric. Born and raised in a small town in the south of the Netherlands she quickly discovered her passion for the English language and decided to yield it. Out of this grew her first collection of poems that came out in the summer of 2020 at a Dutch publishing house. Heavily inspired by the words of great poets such as W.B Yeats, Shakespeare and the romantics this collection is to be a reverence to a long tradition of English literature.
