Love & Other Monsters (Paperback)

Print Version

More than just a book of love poems, Love & Other Monsters explores the search for love from the perspectives of three women at different stages of life—a girl discovering romantic love for the first time, a young woman new to adulthood experiencing the volatility that comes with passionate relationships and heartbreak, and a middle-aged woman who has won and lost in love more than once and seeks to rediscover her joy.

This book of poetry is not dry or boring, nor is it morose or depressing. These women write sometimes sad, funny, ironic, and sarcastic poetry that makes us wonder a bit about love as we move through the years and how we see ourselves and love as we grow up.
