Book Description
A gorgeously jacketed hardcover anthology of passionate love poems from around the world and through the ages. It has often been said that love, both sacred and profane, is the only true subject of the lyric poem. Nothing better justifies this claim than the splendid poems in this volume, which range from the writings of ancient China to those of modern-day America and represent, at its most piercing, a universal experience of the human soul. This collection includes poems by John Donne, Christina Rossetti, W. H. Auden, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Robert Graves, e. e. cummings, Dorothy Parker, William Shakespeare, Sappho, Bhartrhari, Anna Akhmatova, and W. B. Yeats, among many others." Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket

Haruko/Love Poems
Author: June Jordan
Publisher: Serpent's Tail
ISBN: 1800814828
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
In trailblazing poet, essayist, teacher and activist June Jordan's poems, love is a vision of revolutionary solidarity, crossing borders both emotional and literal with an outstretched hand. Haruko traces the faltering arc of a passionate love affair with another woman while Love Poems encompasses relationships with men and women, political resistance, the need for self-care in a demanding, uncaring world and apocalyptic visions of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum. A contemporary of Alice Walker, Toni Morrison and Audre Lorde, June Jordan's spectacular poetry remains profoundly politically potent, lyrically inventive and breathtakingly romantic. First published in 1994, Haruko/ Love poems is a vitally important modern classic.

To the Love of My Life

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
"Deep within my soul, where my secrets are kept from even me, sometimes I feel feelings that I cannot describe. They're sacred and they're private, and they're all about you and me. They tell our beautiful love story, for you are the love of my life." - Donna Fargo In this exquisitely tender collection of love poems, Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Donna Fargo shares her most personal thoughts on love, relationships, and the special person in her life. Her words, written especially for the one true love of her life, speak of gratitude for the blessed gift of love she has been given and of the enduring happiness it brings to her life. They speak of devotion: of honoring each other's dreams and supporting each other in times of need. Recognizing that unhappy moments and difficult times occur in every relationship, her poetry speaks to the importance of trust, understanding, and forgiveness, and of learning to accept the ups, downs, and all the times in between. Donna's poems flow naturally and thoughtfully from one into another... each revealing another aspect of warmth and emotion. From missing each other when you're apart to being there for each other, no matter what, this book beautifully exemplifies the multitude of feelings that come when you know you've found that one special person who is... the love of your life."
