Summary

Are you in love? Have you ever been in love? Do you wish you were in love? Or perhaps you wish you weren't in love?

It ranges in time from classical Greece to the early 20th century. It includes voices from Sappho to Shakespeare to Edgar Lee Masters. From Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Sara Teasdale. It includes some poets you might not expect: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edgar Allan Poe, Rainer Maria Rilke, John Donne, Walt Whitman.

Every mode and color of love is here, as spoken by great poets of all ages, men and women alike.
