The Language of Two

The Language of Two-The language of love can be broad to the deeply intimate. The poems in this book focus on some of the love language of Kathleen Scott-from waiting for her husband to come home from Antarctica to being in a gas station on Christmas Eve hoping for a free tree. The love between two people can be about the mundane but also extend to the beyond. Love never dies even though it can have many transformations-from the heart wrenching to the magical. Love also entails the language of loss-the suffering that we struggle to understand and to cope with in our lives-the grief that we share with others and hold in our bodies. These poems explore some of the ways love reveals itself in specific life changing experiences. They teach us how we can move forward to heal our losses but also sing new love songs.
