A Kiss For The Worthy : Poetry inspired by the Walt Whitman poem 'Leaves of Grass', Paperback / softback Book

A Kiss For The Worthy : Poetry inspired by the Walt Whitman poem 'Leaves of Grass' Paperback / softback

Part of the A Love Poetry Trilogy series

Paperback / softback

Description

Drawing on the phrasing of Walt Whitman’s great late 19th century poem Leaves of Grass Frank Prem has produced a collection of expansive and outward looking love poetry written, as always, in the unique sty,le that allows every reader to relate.

Prem's interpretations breathe new life into contemporary exploration of themes of love in poetry, and utilise Whitman’s original phrases to inspire a contemplation of the self in the context of landscape and the wider world.

a kiss for the worthy is the second of three collections that together comprise A Love Poetry Trilogy, with each revisiting outstanding work by stellar poets of the past to produce vibrant new collections. The first collection, walk away silver heart, draws on Amy Lowell’s deeply personal Madonna of the Evening Flowers, while the third, rescue and redemption, derives from T.S Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.

This is a new kind of poetry that tells stories, draws pictures and elicits emotional responses from readers. Just as the best poetry should.
