Extended description

"What is love that some people race from it; some die without it; and a few recreate it in art? With love you’re like that little old lady who lifted the Volkswagen that slipped off a tire jack, trapping her grandson. You’re Herculean. Abundantly alive. Lost and found. You hear the mermaids singing. You become impervious to pain… or simply happy." -- from the Foreword

Featuring 50 accomplished and emerging poets in a collection that is both accessible and accomplished, in the tradition of the Series edited by Sari Friedman and D. Patrick Miller.

Review by: Sara Marie Hogg on Aug. 04, 2011 : star star star star star
I am not into "love poems," but I must commend you on compiling an excellent volume of poetry. The poetry is so beautiful, that I "fell in love" with them. The contributors have all mastered the craft--even the barfly. Sari's own poems are very good also--Sara Marie Hogg, author of Dark Shadings, Spattered Light and Multiple Exposures (& four other books).
