Love Particles Poems

Author Name: Salik Shah | Format: Paperback | Genre : Poetry | Other Details
Poems of love, faith and despair. This new collection of poems from Salik Shah begins with that youthful search for “true love” and ends with bodies blossoming into “wishes and concerns.” Meet the spacers’ ghosts, vampires and humans trying to find and hold onto love, no matter its cost — the resulting suffering and despair, even the destruction of our planet and the many worlds in our cosmos. Love is not always about loss — it’s also about faith during times of utter hopelessness and crises. Hope that becomes dreams and realities in an alternate universe! In the tradition of some of the finest literary and speculative, science fiction, fantasy and magic realist poetry from around the world, these poems encompass a vast expanse of time and imagination, and take us beyond worlds already familiar and strange to us. From the Author: "I write poems about love as a last resort of sorts during those brief and terrifying moments of despair that seem to last forever. Like when I am falling down and apart, and I desperately need a rope of words to claw out of the darkness that is always hiding behind the sun. As I share these intimate poems with you, I truly hope you will find beauty, hope and strength in them no matter how bleak the future and the world appear at times."
