The Light of Love: Inspirational Poetry for Valentines and Other Lovers

An illustrated gift-book of poems for a person you love, even if that person is you.

“Technically brilliant, emotionally beguiling and, at times, startling.”—A View from Here

The Light of Love is the third book in the Twelve Poems to Inspire Gift Book series, a range of gift-books for festivals like Mother’s Day and Christmas, as well as milestones we all experience, including loss and new beginnings. The Light of Love celebrates Valentine’s Day—and love in all its forms.

These twelve poems delve into the two sides of love—the euphoria and contentment we adore as well as the moments that test us along the way—while encouraging us to celebrate the full spectrum of life’s emotions viewed through a lens of love.

In accessible, sometimes conversational, language the poet draws from her own marriage, friendships and family life, and reflects on love not just as collaborative emotion but an interior one we should also direct at ourselves.

The poems in this collection are written to be reread often. Musing over their evocative yet accessible language, the reader will find comfort in the tender but powerful messages that only true love can provide.

Strikingly real, with powerful candor and passion, the book contains two sections, Heartbreak and Heartease, each poem spectacularly illustrated by pictures the poet co-created with the AI artist app, Dream.

Whoever needs this gift from you, these moving assertions of passion and pain, heart and healing will move you and reconnect you to the meaning of true love.

A thoughtful gift for lovers on Valentine’s Day—or for a loved one any day of the year.
