Love in Verse: Classic Poems of the Heart
The world for me, and all the world can hold, is circled by your arms. . . . --James Weldon Johnson p. 48 True love is eternal--and in poetry, it speaks across the ages to both men and women, reminding us of its power, constancy, and depth. In this lovely literary valentine, nearly a hundred evocative, tender poems from some of the most inspired poets of our time celebrate love longed for and finally found; love requited and unrequited; love secret and blazoned across the sky; loves past, present, and yet to come. An incomparable collection of beauty and grace, Love in Verse pays fitting tribute to the world's most treasured emotion.

Incredibly Romantic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
As a relationship author and wedding officiant, I found this book to be full of wonderful poems and readings. A bride and groom gave me this book just prior to the day of their beach wedding in Rocky Point, Mexico. I could not put it down. As a surprise to the bride and groom, I read the first two paragraphs from the book's introduction during the wedding ceremony. What a hit! Many of the guests wanted to know where that very special reading came from. Give this book to someone you love!
One of the Best!!!!

I received this book as a birthday present. I simply loved diving into the pages. Each poem captured my interest. I found myself memorizing a dozen of the poems. I would definitely consider this book to be a worthwhile investment.
If you are in love, read this book

This is a beautiful book of well selected works for anyone who celebrates love. There are many classics here as well as many not so well known, but equally beautiful selections. Read it with your lover.
