Publisher's Synopsis
Love Songs to Everybody is a collection of poems written over the course of 12 years. They reflect the authors journey through a divorce into an eventual rebirth. It is a true journey from darkness to light, pain to pleasure, struggle to joy. Well known for his business books, author Daren Martin expresses a different side of his creativity in this rich book of poems packed with intrigue, passion, humor, sensuality, spirituality, and ultimate self-discovery. The poems range from playful to profound and are sure to provide something for everyone regardless of where they are in their own journey. Poetry has a unique ability to cut to the point. Some of these poems deliver with the precision of a laser beam while others consume like a bonfire. Many poetry books are so obtuse or self-referential as to leave the reader scratching their head in confusion. You will find the poems found in this collection to be deliciously accessible and inspiring. A huge fan of poetry himself, author Daren Martin has been inspired by T.S. Eliot, William Blake, W.H. Auden, Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Anna Akhmatova, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Joseph Brodsky, Pablo Neruda, Charles Bukowski, and more.
