Love Poems

by Chelsea N. Edwards (editor)

This inspiring collection of love poems celebrates this most powerful of emotions in its ever-evolving forms. Ranging from the words of Romanticism’s Percy Bysshe Shelley to those of Gothic legend, Edgar Allan Poe, Love Poems chronicles love’s journey throughout the centuries.

These stirring and enchanting poems are accompanied by exquisite paintings from artists such as Gustav Klimt and Sandro Botticelli, which make this anthology a wonderful gift for lovers of fine art as well as poetry enthusiasts. Love Poems is divided into six chapters, each dealing with a different facet of love’s complexity. Moving from first love through celebration and contentment onto heartbreak, lost love and concluding with remembrance, this is a varied look at the myriad emotions love can evoke. This charming collection will have something to offer anyone who has ever been under love’s spell.

This aesthetically beautiful anthology juxtaposes Victorian/Edwardian poems about love with gorgeous oil paintings from the same eras (think Dante Gabriel Rossetti). Due to the era in which the poems were composed, rhyming poetry is ubquitous.
