Tender Hearts Club: Volume One

We are making this book now because the world is asking us-over and over-to harden. To look away. To shrink our circles of care. To treat love as private, sentimental, optional.This anthology gathers love in all its forms. Erotic love and everyday love. Revolutionary love and quiet love. The love that aches, that longs, that wallows. Love lost and love found. Love as an opening. Love as an ending.Because love is what apathy cannot touch. Love is what hate has never understood.Tender Hearts Club: Volume One is a gathering of voices that refuse to let love be diminished. These poems do not ask love to be easy. They let love be honest, messy, radiant, and real.May these poems remind you what you already know: love is not a soft afterthought. Love is a force. Love is a practice. Love is a way forward.
