Book excerpt: Diary of Love Poems is the second book of the Gramma Larson Remembers series. It is a love story that began on a bus in 1956.

"As I go to sleep and this poem closes my book to you, I will be dreaming of meeting my love Ivar, my son Paul, Jesus, and Elvis you too." Helen O. Larson was born October 24, 1910 and brought up in a small New England village named Rockland. It was subsequently destroyed in the 1920s to build the Scituate Reservoir. Forced to leave their farm, her family relocated to the village of Hope. Later she married, had two sons, and then divorced. In 1956 she met Ivar E. Larson, the driver of the Pawtuxet Valley Bus line. He drove the bus she would travel on to her house cleaning jobs. One spring morning as they were talking she expressed she really did not want to go to work. His reply was, don't go. She in turn replied she had to. Her husband had left her and she had to provide for her two sons. He mentioned his wife had left him also. And so began a love story. Helen tells her story in poems of how much she loved Ivar, how much she missed him, and how she prayed he would return, knowing all along it could never be. Included are a mixture of over 40 photographs and documents with captions. Her son, Raymond A. Wolf, has sprinkled verses of her poetry in his books: The Lost Villages of Scituate, The Scituate Reservoir, Foster, West Warwick, Pawtuxet Valley Villages, and Coventry all part of the Images of America series by Arcadia Publishing.

Although she passed away in 2005, in her 94th year, her memory lives on through her poetry. Wolf Publishing is proud to make her work available to everyone.

Book excerpt: Love’s Diary explains what happens with love while people experience certain things in their relationships. If love had a diary of her own, this is what it would sound like. After each poem, you have the opportunity to write down your own thoughts on love, which makes this your personal diary of love. Love is a precious gift from God that we all possess in some kind of form and what we do with this gift reflects who we are. As a result, our intimate relationships will either grow or diminish. It’s important to understand that love is not determined by what occurs in our relationships. Love is always present but we may not always be present with love.

A contemporary of Alice Walker, Toni Morrison and Audre Lorde, June Jordan's spectacular poetry remains profoundly politically potent, lyrically inventive and breathtakingly romantic. First published in 1994, Haruko/ Love poems is a vitally important modern classic.

Download or read book Chains of Love and Beauty written by Carolyn Dever and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why a monumental diary by an aunt and niece who published poetry together as “Michael Field”—and who were partners and lovers for decades—is one of the great unknown works of late-Victorian and early modernist literature Michael Field, the renowned late-Victorian poet, was well known to be the pseudonym of Katharine Bradley (1846–1914) and her niece, Edith Cooper (1862–1913). Less well known is that for three decades, the women privately maintained a romantic relationship and kept a double diary, sharing the page as they shared a bed and eventually producing a 9,500-page, twenty-nine-volume story of love, life, and art in the fin de siècle. In Chains of Love and Beauty, the first book about the diary, Carolyn Dever makes the case for this work as a great unknown “novel” of the nineteenth century and as a bridge between George Eliot and Virginia Woolf, Victorian marriage plot and modernist experimentation. While Bradley and Cooper remained committed to publishing poetry under a single, male pseudonym, the diary, which they entitled Works and Days and hoped would be published after their deaths, allowed them to realize literary ambitions that were unfulfilled during their lifetime. The women also used the diary, which remains largely unpublished, to negotiate their art, desires, and frustrations, as well as their relationships with contemporary literary celebrities, including Robert Browning, Oscar Wilde, William Butler Yeats, and Walter Pater. Showing for the first time why Works and Days is a great experimental work of late-Victorian and early modernist writing, one that sheds startling new light on gender, sexuality, and authorship, Dever reveals how Bradley and Cooper wrote their shared life as art, and their art as life, on pages of intimacy that they wanted to share with the world.

Download or read book A Counting of Love written by Liezel Graham and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Counting of Love, is a book about love in all her facets, wearing all her faces and in all her seasons, harsh and beautiful. 'Love has a way of finding you in the long grass, when you are not looking for her--not searching for anything other than yourself. That's when love walks in on soft feet, taps you on the shoulder, sits down with you and whispers your name. Isn't this a beautiful mystery--how love is an anchor, a compass, a map and a home.' Following the success of her debut volume of poetry, Stripped, Glasgow poet Liezel Graham's distinct voice continues in her second collection of poems, A Counting of Love. With her trademark honesty, Graham explores motherhood, autism, relationships, grief and loss, her relationship with faith and spirituality, and nature. She writes with a raw and vulnerable voice, leaving the reader with a sense of the beauty that might be found at the heart of any struggle. 'Writing of difficult things with the kind of wisdom that only comes from walking the difficult road, from carrying a weight of sorrows, she shines dignity and truth in dark places, her words make grief a less lonely place, they spur the weary on. She manages to capture joy and the ability to see beauty still in the depths of sorrow. Brave, broken, beautiful, with a soulful joy that feels like a rebellion, there are loads of days I think she's the best thing on the internet.' -- Vicky W. '...a beautiful well-worn heart that shows through in each of her poems. She is a gifted poet and storyteller, weaving a parachute of hope from heartache, trauma and loss.' -- Bethany H.

Download or read book You My Love written by Richard Atwood and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-02 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 13 January You are into me like flame and fire as no other desire could know such gentle fury ...like an undefined thirst incalculably uncontrolled, or passion spent in seeking a wild and wondrous rose. With love, as in life, there are no guarantees. Except always a beginning, always an end. Nothing else is certain, set in some. The thoughts and emotions that drive us indeed ever churning, changing... ever in flux, ebb and flow. So, too, the heart- yet once fixed, as relentless as a star: the blaze too brilliant to be near, consuming all. Whether right or wrong, a force of such power and import, almost impossible to stop. Impossible not to desire above all things (whether prudent or unwise)... moving us to destiny or despair. May your star remain fixed - your love, the life it was meant to be. You, My Love... a diary in verse was a winning Finalist in the poetry category of the 2010 National Indie Excellence Awards. It was also the poetry Runner-up in the 2011 London Book Festival, and the Runner-up in the 2012 Paris Book Festival.

Download or read book Postcolonial Love Poem written by Natalie Diaz and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRY FINALIST FOR THE 2020 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY Natalie Diaz’s highly anticipated follow-up to When My Brother Was an Aztec, winner of an American Book Award Postcolonial Love Poem is an anthem of desire against erasure. Natalie Diaz’s brilliant second collection demands that every body carried in its pages—bodies of language, land, rivers, suffering brothers, enemies, and lovers—be touched and held as beloveds. Through these poems, the wounds inflicted by America onto an indigenous people are allowed to bloom pleasure and tenderness: “Let me call my anxiety, desire, then. / Let me call it, a garden.” In this new lyrical landscape, the bodies of indigenous, Latinx, black, and brown women are simultaneously the body politic and the body ecstatic. In claiming this autonomy of desire, language is pushed to its dark edges, the astonishing dunefields and forests where pleasure and love are both grief and joy, violence and sensuality. Diaz defies the conditions from which she writes, a nation whose creation predicated the diminishment and ultimate erasure of bodies like hers and the people she loves: “I am doing my best to not become a museum / of myself. I am doing my best to breathe in and out. // I am begging: Let me be lonely but not invisible.” Postcolonial Love Poem unravels notions of American goodness and creates something more powerful than hope—in it, a future is built, future being a matrix of the choices we make now, and in these poems, Diaz chooses love.
