one hundred & one love poems

What makes a lover better than all others? What draws in your heart - on wrinkled paper, masterpieces? To open your heart to love again is not liability, but devout liturgy. Hand tenderly holding the pain of the past, while also reaching forward in pursuit of the more. Light is nothing without contrast of dark. Lilies, only seeds, without storms. This collection is both lovesick and sick of love. High and low pursuit of both lover and friend. Content Warning: These poems are intended for mature audiences. Some of these poems deal with weighty topics like sexual violence, abuse, loss, miscarriage, mental health, self-harm, trauma, infidelity, and other sexual topics and explicit language.

one hundred & one love poems: all things grace, shame, lovers, and sex is a poetic memoir and also a welcome to explore your own relationship with love. It is a journey into conversations that feel too taboo, and hopefully it is a safe space for you rest, regroup, and reconsider that love might be more than previously thought.
