Heartlove: Wedding and Love Poems

by Haki R. Madhubuti

HeartLove is love that matters. In these poems, Madhubuti gives us essential meditations on commitment and caring. He offers honest and sometimes cutting criticism that is expected from a true friend or lover. And he gives us poetry -- constant reminders of our wholeness and humanity. "Some of the finest human poems in English are in this book" (Robert Bly).

[Earth&Silver · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked it but I had very mixed feelings at times. The author writes with tenderness, thoughtfulness, and at times passion. He obviously cares deeply about his community roots and building a better future. He and I happen to disagree at times about what a better future means, and what makes a person seem good or worthy.
