"This collection of love poetry chronicles a journey through friendship, love, and loyalty. These poems were first shared as a private and intimate exchange with and for each other, then ultimately compiled in celebration of our union. Since then, we have realized that this work is so fresh, relevant, honest, authentic, and vulnerable that it absolutely has to take its place in this world. It's not about us. This is about you. It's about possibility. And opportunity. And doing the work on your own individual journey and watching as your life unfolds into something far beyond your wildest dreams. Connection and collaboration heal. Our sincere hope is that something in our words, in our love, may resonate within you, and leave you with a little more hope and a lot more love in your heart. And besides, who doesn't love a good love story?!" Praise for "With These Words..."

"With These Words takes the reader on a heartfelt journey of true love. The hearts of both poets are poured upon the page with abandon. Each poem, every line, each word... They are all imbued with sacred passion and devotion." -Eva Xan, Best-Selling Poetry Book Editor and Author of Esoterra* * "Adina is one of the most committed women I have ever known when it comes to doing the deep soul work of healing and recovery. This book is a beautiful testament to that commitment and the gifts that come with doing the work... a testament to pure, authentic, deep, honest, and true love." -Tamie M Joyce, Empowerment Life Coach * *"The more I read, the more insights I gained about John and Adina and, wonderfully, about myself." [...] "The insights of hindsights eloquently penned by a loving couple."

-Hap Klopp, Author, Founder of The North Face, and Lecturer

• * *"Truly a love story for the ages... A modern day Barrett and Browning. Their beautiful poetry simply flows from one to the other."
