Beautiful Tragedies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999177655)

Only through dark poetry can a tragedy become something truly beautiful. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." This phrase has origins dating back to ancient Greece, circa 300 BC; proving that some humans have always had the ability to see beauty where others could not. Beautiful Tragedies is a compilation of 140 works by no less than fifty-five amazing poets writing in a variety of forms--all inspired by feelings born in the darkest of times. They express the pain associated with unrequited or all-consuming love gone wrong, as well as where the resulting emotions can take us. Readers will get in touch with the darkness lurking inside all of us-the ugly part of us-where we can consider the unthinkable, stemming from the madness gripping our minds.
