A boldly illustrated collection of poetry, literary excerpts, and musings on love in all its forms — tender, consuming, transcendent, and occasionally ruinous. From Viktor Frankl's conviction that love is the highest goal to which we can aspire, to Rilke's humble desire 'with only this one dream: you come too', these are the writers who understood it best.

DETAILS
Absolutely adore the poems in this book. The book itself well made, and I love the illustrations. The seller even included some postcards and a sticker. This is my second time purchasing from this shop and it won’t be the last.
Love these small books! They make wonderful presents and everyone whom I've gifted them to absolutely loves them! I read them before sleep and the poems calm my troubled mind. I swear I sleep much better...I keep buying the books and prints.
Extremely high quality and beautiful illustrations. It's my second purchase from them!

A perfect little book to give on Valentine's Day.
The book was smaller and less detailed than I thought it would be. But beautiful poems and it shipped quickly!
Only giving item quality 4 stars because there is a small crease on the front cover. Other than that, the book is beautiful. It arrived promptly, and I loved the extra post cards included.

Mesmerizing, exquisite illustrations to a thoughtful selection of poems. Fun size.
Beautiful love poems from the very best of poets, nicely published in a smaller format that makes it suitable for gifting. However, I am keeping my copy to read again and again.

Perfect size to hold in your hand and carry in your pocket; designs and art are pleasing. Hope to see more author’s works represented.
