Twenty-One Love Poems

At first, a poet in love sings for herself only--but then, in an act of stunning generosity, she invites her readers to share her hopes and her pain. Kathleen Willoughby, not content to rest on the laurels garnered by her debut collection, The Shape of a Woman, reaches even deeper into her heart and experience to enlighten and enlarge us with this new volume of poems and paintings. Individually, the works address a breathtaking range of situations and emotions. Collectively, they allow us to experience the exquisite joy of loving a woman.
