Summary

Alexa, What Is There to Know About Love? is a wonderful collection of poems about love in all its forms, covering everything from romantic love to familial love, to long-distance love and even love on the internet. 

The collection also features poems about the true passions for many booklovers, reading and literature, and the odd one about the subject causing many of us heartbreak: politics. With titles like ‘Hold My Hand While We Jump Off This Cliff’ and ‘Remembrance of Things Pasta’, there’s something for even the most jaded romantic within.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

loving the love of love and everything inbetween

they want me to do
a short and sweet review.
thing is, what's the write thing,
exactly, to do?
i'd have asked the man next door,
who looked as if he knew,
but it's lockdown,
so i can't.
i'll have to tell you what I think
instead. here goes.
it's funny, and it's sad,
it's inspiring, and it's curl up with a cat mad,
it makes me want to eat custard creams
and sail away under my Tuesduvet duvet of dreams,
and sleep in pentameter and wake up tomorrow
rhyming like a poet and not being a woman in
her house and listening to poetry
but breathing it in like fresh air.

Book with good sense of 'humous' :)

Entertaining especially if you're fascinated with puns - very cleverly written, made me smile, even giggle ...
