The poems and images in this slim collection address the vicissitudes of love and how it bites us in unexpected ways.

Since the beginning of storytelling, poets have contemplated the universal theme of love in all its manifestations. Yet it remains an enigmatic, never-ending quest. As Zelda Fitzgerald says: ‘Nobody has ever measured, even poets, how much a heart can hold.’

Touching on grief, betrayal, loss, disappointment, and hope among other topics, Jean G-Owen’s candid reflections add another chapter to love’s lexicon. Each poem and image will leave its own indelible mark on the reader.
