Poetry Notebook: It´s Love I´m After

Selected by Paula Parra

DescriptionPoems that strive to describe what is, according to many, the most beautiful and tempestuous feeling of them all. Not all complimeting, not quite agreeing but beautiful and in a way accurate nonetheless. I choose poems of love, heartbreak, risky affairs and farewells, including the recount of living with a broken heart. The poems are a sutile representation, a small part of love, although not quite enough.

SynopsisImages that capture the strongest of human emotions- love.
