When a Romantic Writes Poetry

Poetry has long been used to give tangible form to the most intangible of thoughts and feelings, with the voice of poets speaking universal truths for us all, even when we ourselves do not have the words. And there is no intangibility more universal than romantic love ... in all of its stages.

This poetry collection examines those stages from the highly personal and relatable perspective of a "late-blooming romantic," struggling to find real love and healing amidst the minefield of pain, longing, and expectation that all too often defines and constrains our relationships in this modern world.

When a Romantic Writes Poetry delves into casual sex, love, loss, healing, and hope in a highly readable and relatable poetic style that will resonate strongly in the hearts and minds of anyone who's ever ventured into that same minefield ... for better or worse.
