Publisher's Synopsis
This book is Mr. Lordan's ninth collection of poetry. From sonnets to free verse, the author shows off his talent as one of the leading poets of his generation. With warmth and caring he explores the world utilizing different poem forms from across the globe. It is at once a love letter to his woman of mystery and a template for others to win the hearts of the ones they love. While this collection is in English, the poet uses other languages to express that emotion in a richer way. This at once acknowledges that English borrows from several other languages and was formed by the fusion of Germanic languages with Old French after the Norman conquest. Mr. Lordan's use of phrases from other countries and languages also enriches the experience of poetry by expanding the poem, and thus the book and the reader's experience of both, beyond the words printed upon the page. Like the emotion of Love itself, no one language can hold a concept within its bounds.
