[.uk] Poetry to Share Your Love (Portable Poetry) (ISBN 1840726652)

Lovely and Ecclectic:
I picked up a copy of this book at Urban Outfitters last weekend. I just happened to stumble across it, and immediately fell in love with the little book. It includes love from so many different perspectives, and has an ecclectic group of poets whose work appears in this book. I was also impressed that this book wasn't biased as so many books on love are, as it includes a few poems embracing love in its non hetro form, as well as poems about the love between a man and a woman. It also embraces so many of the different phases through which love can go through, wether it's puppy love, deep and true love, the beginning of a relationship, or loss. My favorite poem in this book is "The Embrace" by Mark Doty, it always brings tears to my eyes. I've brought this book along with me to school and my girlfriend, as well as my friends, have all greatly enjoyed numerous poems from this book. It is a wonderful gift idea for a lover, or just anyone who appreciates romantic poetry.
