cleave: poetry 1973-2011

by William F. DeVault, Hannah Migliore (Editor), Mariya Andriichuk (Photographer)

Sixty nine poems from the Romantic Poet of the Internet, examining both the bringing together of people in romance and passion as well as their parting, built upon the conflicting definitions of the word "cleave". From seduction to divorce, from innocence to regret, the full spectrum of human emotions within loving and passionate relationships is explored. Includes the award-winning "The Patchwork Skirt of My Love", "Love is an Howling Beast", "Unicorns", "Bohemia", "The Taste of Remembrance", and "The Philosophy of Dreams".

About the author

From my official website (link below) and my podcast, available at iTunes Music Store or through my own site [http://www.cityoflegends.com/radio.html], I have a fairly large footprint on the web.

The former host of AOL Writers Club Poets Place "Romantic and Erotic Poetry Group", author of (best estimate) over 15,000 poetic works and one of the few who can lay claim to the sobriquet "Poet Laureate of Cyberspace", I strive to get better, write stronger and connect more with every minute, hour, day and penstroke.

I was born in South Carolina, but grew up all over the place, including 15 years in Morgantown, West Virginia, and a dozen years in the bedroom communities of Washington, DC, but I count Venice Beach, California, my real home.

I have loved some remarkable friends and lovers, fathered three incredible children and still fervently believe my best works are yet to come.

Nine books, 3 CDs and a legacy already well established, I'm just getting warmed up.
