Love and Variations [Paperback]

Carole Satyamurti (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2000

Love can be intensely joyful, but it is rarely straightforward. With it, comes misunderstanding, mistrust, and disappointment. People get hurt and fail each other. Lasting love is a hard-won achievement, not a happy accident. Many of Carole Satyamurti's most powerful poems have been fuelled by her fascination with such complexities and contradictions in personal relationships, and here, she writes with passion and intelligence of love's delight and obsession, as well as, its pain and absurdity.
