Synopsis

The world for me, and all the world
can hold, is circled by your arms. . . .
--James Weldon Johnson [p. 48]

True love is eternal--and in poetry, it speaks across the ages to both men and women, reminding us of its power, constancy, and depth. In this lovely literary valentine, nearly a hundred evocative, tender poems from some of the most inspired poets of our time celebrate love longed for and finally found; love requited and unrequited; love secret and blazoned across the sky; loves past, present, and yet to come.

An incomparable collection of beauty and grace, Love in Verse pays fitting tribute to the world's most treasured emotion.

About this title

From the Author:

Falling in love has intrigued poets throughout the centuries
It's human nature to want to fall in love. The desire is the common thread that weaves together every generation, the genders, and all the creeds and cultures. And so it is little wonder that poets have dedicated their vision and pens to defining love on paper, capturing the power enveloped in the emotion, way of life, and endless passion love cultivates

It was a delight to collect these poems, each one providing a special gift in each and every verse. They vividly brought back the special moment when I first met and fell in love with the man who became my husband. And it is, in fact, my special valentine to him. Enjoy Love In Verse with the one who has captured your heart.
