About this book
Poems from the Heart - Poems for the Heart, is a collection of Alison Blackmore’s love poems with artworks, inspired by each poem, from gifted illustrator Doan Trang.
Has there ever been an emotion so well suited to the rhythm of poetry as love? We are filled with a complex mix of joy, uncertainty, resistance, surrender, caution, recklessness, doubt, and more joy. Ecstasy.
Love inspires us to reach toward new goals and achieve great things. It gives us the courage to shake the world by the tail, and overcome adversity. Love can lift us up to the heavens and plunge us down into the depths of despair.
Mere words could never encompass an emotion so broad. They need melody and meter, rhythm and soul, woven in and around and through them. Something magical happens when we are in love.
Perhaps this is why some great artists have a ‘muse’. The times our hearts are filled to bursting, overflowing, are the times we are most alive, most capable of, and willing to, express our inner world.
