Synopsis

The continuous story of a love affair, written in free verse, the sadness of happy times, with simplicity and gentleness, transverses the varied experiences of the search for love – the expectancy, the eager grasping of each tender moment, the highs when we feel sure that this is it, the heartbreak of love lost. Originally published in 1971, this acclaimed book of poetry, which has sold over 50,000 copies in print, is now available in this special ebook edition. Among its many reviews are: WMCA RADIO: “this is a book of good poetry: a continuous story of a love affair . . .many of the pieces approach or achieve excellence . . .demands the attention of ever admitted incurable romantic, and more than a notice from many of the rest of us who hesitate to admit we are.” LONG ISLAND PRESS: “. . . potent volume of love poems which will find sympathetic echoes in your heart – perhaps too painful if you are newly fallen out of love . . . with simplicity and gentleness, Duro traverses the varied experiences of our search for ideal love – the expectancy, the eager grasping of each moment, the highs when we feel sure that this is it, the heartbreak of love lost.” WABC TV (AM NEW YORK): “. . . after reading ‘the sadness of happy times,’ i know that Lou Duro is a great poet . . . i eagerly await his next volume.” WCBS RADIO: “If you have ever been in love and been hurt read the sadness of happy times. Lou Duro tenderly puts into a few words what you have been trying to say all this time.” NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: “. . . tenderly written book well worth reading.” WBAB RADIO: “we can all see ourselves mirrored perfectly . . . an experience in poetry that should be felt, rather than just read, by all of us.”
