Love Is Like This : Revised and New Poems

Love is like this: Revised and New Poems is about learning to voice the grief that is part of the experience of loving. The author takes a hard look at loss in poems like "Gutting the Doe" and a softer look through poems like "Flowers were everywhere." Everywhere, there is something beautiful to aspire towards and something heartbreaking to mourn and the challenge of loving is being able to do both and not let it keep us from remembering why we love, even if we are still hurt, even if our grief still haunts us.
