The Anxieties of Love: Epistolary Love Poems (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781796065411)

Carl Cook has been writing poetry since childhood but did not heed his calling as a poet until his teens. The Anxieties of Love represent his third book, preceded by The Tranquil Lake of Love, which was nominated for a Lambda Literary Award, and Postscripts published two years later. His poetry was first published by Gay Sunshine Press Quarterly (Winter 1978), and later anthologized in such books as Voices Rising, A Rock Against the Wind, The Road Before Us, and A Warm December. He is a retired preschool teacher and continues to live and write in New Jersey.
