I Promised You A Love Poem - 9781532634895

Somewhere between fairy tales and foreign lands, they've promised you a love poem. Originally gifted as a wedding gift for her husband, I Promised You a Love Poem was written over ten years on backs of bar napkins, passport entry cards, and coffee receipts. Setting home as both a tangible and spiritual locale, this collection explores the romantic havens we claim as Eden, the barren corners we view as exile, and the realities that bridge the divide. ""Innocence is an infectious paradise,"" writes Strube, the garden from which we stem and inexplicably long to return. Home: our constant search and effervescent companion. We travel far to find ourselves and sing our urgent hallelujahs. ""I Promised You a Love Poem is an inspiration, opening our eyes to the wonder-filled world of everyday life. Jennifer Strube's musings are a welcome and compelling companion, wherever our paths may meander."" --Sue DiCicco, Founder of The Peace Crane Project Writer, educator, and licensed therapist, Jennifer Strube sees life as a series of dotted stories craving to be connected. After three master's degrees and a decade of teaching, she relocated west from New York City in search of open sky. An avid believer in the wild places, her works highlight the spaces that wake one up--the byroads of travel, the subtlety of everyday grace, and that impetuous ache called love. This is Strube's second work.
