Perfect Reflection Cover Reveal

May 18
2 min read

It’s not every day an author gets the opportunity to share their work with the public, let alone share some of their most intimate thoughts alongside it. Somehow, I’m managing to do both at the same time.


I’d joke and say it’s the manic side of me, but realistically, there’s probably some truth to that. Being Bipolar II and a writer is a diabolical combination—one I’m still hoping works in my favor.


With that said, I am incredibly excited to finally share the cover for my debut poetry collection, Perfect Reflection.

 

Book cover reveal for "Perfect Reflection" by Destany Stevens, featuring a poignant illustration of a woman holding a shattered mirror. The back cover includes a blurb about exploring mental health and an "About the Author" section. A poppy flower adorns the spine, symbolizing the book’s delicate themes.

From the beginning, I wanted the cover to capture the essence of the collection itself: a perfectly imperfect reflection of mental health, memory, emotion, and what it can feel like to live with an undiagnosed mood disorder. Emotions, by nature, are cyclical. They shift, overlap, intensify, disappear, and return. Healing is rarely linear, and neither is the human experience.


This collection was never meant to offer perfection. It was meant to offer honesty.

I could not be happier with how the cover came to life, and I’m so thankful to aeriiuna for creating the artwork featured on the front of Perfect Reflection. Thank you for making the process feel effortless and for understanding the vision so intuitively. You captured exactly what I hoped this collection would feel like before anyone even opened the first page.


What started as a cathartic release slowly became something much larger than I expected. And now, it’s almost ready to belong to the world instead of just me.


You can now pre-order Perfect Reflection on Amazon as an ebook, which will also be available through Kindle Unlimited. On June 23rd, paperback copies will be available for purchase through most major retailers.


—Destany
