Fortunately for me I found the "notes" at the end of the book before I started reading the pieces in "You, My Love." The notes gave me an understanding that this is "A diary, exactly as it happened. Without intention...an older, married woman, a younger man. A diary first - a book of poems, second." As I am attempting to write this review I keep contemplating on what I've read; where it started and where it ended...and all the emotional roller coasters in between. Richard Atwood draws in the reader's heart and emotional aspects of the self with each piece of writing. The wordsmithing is incredible and I admire how he is able to portray the feelings in so few words. I encourage poetry lovers to read this book, not only for the poetry itself but to appreciate how Atwood is able to create a whole journey of love, pain, dismay, separation, wonderment and consolation in diary format. I just wish I had more words to say to really give this book the justice it deserves. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

13 January You are into me like flame and fire as no other desire could know such gentle fury ...like an undefined thirst incalculably uncontrolled, or passion spent in seeking a wild and wondrous rose. With love, as in life, there are no guarantees. Except always a beginning, always an end. Nothing else is certain, set in some. The thoughts and emotions that drive us indeed ever churning, changing... ever in flux, ebb and flow. So, too, the heart- yet once fixed, as relentless as a star: the blaze too brilliant to be near, consuming all. Whether right or wrong, a force of such power and import, almost impossible to stop. Impossible not to desire above all things (whether prudent or unwise)... moving us to destiny or despair. May your star remain fixed - your love, the life it was meant to be. You, My Love... a diary in verse was a winning Finalist in the poetry category of the 2010 National Indie Excellence Awards. It was also the poetry Runner-up in the 2011 London Book Festival, and the Runner-up in the 2012 Paris Book Festival. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Richard Atwood strips all pretenses of love and prostrates himself onto the page in such raw fashion that the reader is forever affected. For some reason he is granted a moments glimpse into the heavenly realms and falls in love with a goddess eternally scarring his soul. Such intense passion collided with pain so much so that the equilibrium of nature suffered. Whether this is a love story or a cursed tragedy or both is up for the reader to decide.
“Even the wind screams of such injustice.”
There is no comparing this to other masterpieces, this stands alone. ( )
