The World Eats Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645785616)

In her debut collection, Carol Edwards interlaces a narrative of characters bearing up under the weight of longing, loss, and regret. She unfolds, with reassuring tenderness, a spectrum of experiences: from stolen innocence to wasted time; from insidious monsters to bittersweet loneliness; from the heaviness of broken hearts to the hope of belonging.

She concludes with a short story-a fairy tale, of sorts-to capture in prose themes woven throughout the poems.
