Publisher's Synopsis
Jay Sharman's new collection of poems will make you smile and make you think about the connections you have forged with others. His whimsical takes on romance, relationships, and more are designed to inspire and inform.
Sharman believes in the power of love, and this becomes a running theme in his work. However, he doesn't believe in love alone. Sharman's poems show everything else that goes into a successful relationship and illuminate the reasons why so many fail even when the love is still there.
Sharman's work covers a variety of other topics and issues, including an ode to wedding rings, a chronicle of a week spent with a careless lover, and a question about the best bargain you can find in life.
He also offers vivid portraits of places and people. Sharman, who has visited more than forty counties, transports you to an overheated Cairo shop, a wooden house on the riverfront, and an erupting volcano. Some of his characters grow stronger in the face of disaster, emotional or otherwise. Others fall apart. Each has something important to say about the nature of love and its power to bewitch.
