Love and Other Words (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977609427)

'Love and Other Words' is a love story told through poetry, charting decades in time between the author and her husband. As a medium, poetry offers a forum for emotions and ideas otherwise hidden from the page of regular prose. Joan captures the true mission of poetry in this book. Try reading the contents and not get a sense of journey and intrigue as to how feelings unfold. This body of work is a beautifully unique approach to exposing a relationship through poetic dialogue and presenting an opportunity for response. We are truly lucky to be allowed to witness this private journaling of feelings toward Joan's husband, Hans, and to then read his thoughts, also in poetic form. We are privy to themes of time and presence, existence and regret. The substance is raw in its provoking questioning, with hope of timelessness and the whim that love might live forever. The result is an oft heart choking insight into one of life's grandest concepts-LOVE.
