From the civilization of the Lower Nile to that of the Lower Hudson, more poets have written more convincingly, more poignantly about love than about any other subject. This selection of love poems features work by 190 poets, and the poems are some of the most note-worthy in the English language.
Funny, sad, tender, and erotic, by jilted lovers and new lovers, lovers celebrating the love that has sustained them over long years, lovers looking for their ideal love, these poems demonstrate many emotions inspired by love. Stallworthy arranged the book thematically, beginning with the dawning of young love and ending with the "long look back" of older writers. These poems demonstrate our changeless responses to the changing seasons of the heart.
