This inspiring collection of love poems celebrates this most powerful of emotions in its ever-evolving forms. Ranging from the words of Romanticism’s Percy Bysshe Shelley to those of Gothic legend, Edgar Allan Poe, Love Poems chronicles love’s journey throughout the centuries.
These stirring and enchanting poems are accompanied by exquisite paintings from artists such as Gustav Klimt and Sandro Botticelli, which make this anthology a wonderful gift for lovers of fine art as well as poetry enthusiasts. Love Poems is divided into six chapters, each dealing with a different facet of love’s complexity. Moving from first love through celebration and contentment onto heartbreak, lost love and concluding with remembrance, this is a varied look at the myriad emotions love can evoke. This charming collection will have something to offer anyone who has ever been under love’s spell.

June 21, 2009: I bought this book because I wanted to write little notes to husband. I always have trouble finding the right words. Although there are some very nice ones in here, it was not what I was looking for. Beautifly cover & nice addition to anyones library.

April 20, 2009: This, by far is the best poem book I have ever read ~ not to mention the selection of art used in the book to offset the poems is fantastic also...I sent this to the love of my life and she too was incredibly pleased. The best part about this book is the various chapters....in each, you will find some poem, if not many, that you can relate to. Departed Love and Lost Love and Remembrance were my favorite chapters; but the other 4 chapters held my eye also.
