Publisher's Synopsis
The Night is a Constant Lover is a very personal book in which the author has not been afraid to reveal the hopes, wants, needs, and desires of his own soul. Though autobiographical the book touches upon universal truths common to every heart. It is the kind of book where you will hear yourself speaking just like in pop songs. It seems that some of us, as children, were too impressionable and when we were introduced to stories like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, by the brothers Grimm, and Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault, as well as countless other fairy tales, they set us on a course of searching for our own "happily ever after." These poems chart the course of such a quest. They take the longings that we all experience and put them into words for us so that we might better understand our own emotions. This volume of poems touches our soul when it talks of the loneliness that drives us to search for love, the exhilaration we experience when at last we find that one special someone, and the pain and longing that return when love walks away. It also promises the hope of love returning like the morning sun. The Night is a Constant Lover is an honest and moving autobiography of a hungry heart. Byron has been inspired by the writings of E.E. Cummings, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Robert Frost, Rod McKuen, and Walt Whitman.
