About the book:

In this first collection of poetry, Ledell Boyd demonstrated the all-comsuming passion of love in a series of poems in which a man speaks ardently of his female companion. Alternately longing and celebratory, wistful and triumphant, the male voice of Boyd's poems often pines for lost lovers and cherishes memories of past relationships, pleading for a return to a state of grace when love seemed novel and perfect.
