Summary

Description

A collection of poems on love -- romantic love, as well as familial love. It includes reminiscences of lovers lost and relationships bungled. The style of the poems range from free-form to rhyming couplets and quatrains. Some are lyrical, some are written in the language of the street. A sample:

when the sickle moon / sweeps across the dawning sky / harvesting the stars, I search among the dewdrops / for traces of you.
