A collection of poetry and prose that explore the complex nature of love, longing, betrayal and heartache. In 102 poems, the authors, interpret the rise and fall of romance and the perplexity of letting go.
The poets hail from diverse locations, cultures, and ethnicities but their work shares common elements of vivid detail, determination of spirit (either quiet or passionate) and compelling artistry. There is a stark realism to the poems that bears witness to the courage of the writers to face the truth of their ordeals and cut through the shame and stigma associated with the endurance of poverty.
