Many have attempted to define 'love' with concurring and dissenting perspectives. But one thing remains true: We believe it.
For love and poetry explores different, personal recollections and stories as each piece not only sheds light on the experience of love, but also the loss, musings, and ideas that come with it.
This debut collection originated from a single poem written by the author over a decade ago and has since then developed with the contribution of other literary artists. Just like the title, this book claims to be nothing except staying true to itself, love and poetry.
