Description

June 1, 2024. Authors from the U.S. and Canada share their writing about the many forms love takes. From adolescent crushes to a tired marriage revived by nearly losing the loved one, from a sick child’s love for her dog to a mountain climber’s determination to climb the highest peaks with his son, from lesbian couple widowed after decades of making an international love affair work to newly weds irritated by their differences, from a husband losing his wife to COVID to a journalist home from Gaza desperate for someone to understand the suffering she has witnessed, from a person’s love for his land to a person watching beloved parents decline, from a woman still loving the man who has moved on to a woman who cannot sleep until a kind man upends her life, from a man delighting in the sensuous pleasure of sharing a shower to a woman seeing another woman’s photo beside her husband’s bed, from a couple who remeet after decades and invent their own love language to a grandmother’s love for her child’s special place, and more — love of all sorts is celebrated in this book of poems, short stories, and memoir pieces. Entries included were selected by independent judges.
