Book Reviews of Love in Verse: Classic Poems of the Heart
Book Review: Incredibly Romantic
Summary: 5 Stars
As a relationship author and wedding officiant, I found this book to be full of wonderful poems and readings. A bride and groom gave me this book just prior to the day of their beach wedding in Rocky Point, Mexico. I could not put it down. As a surprise to the bride and groom, I read the first two paragraphs from the book's introduction during the wedding ceremony. What a hit! Many of the guests wanted to know where that very special reading came from. Give this book to someone you love!
Summary of Love in Verse: Classic Poems of the Heart
The world for me, and all the worldcan 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.
