From acclaimed multidisciplinary artist Greg Orrē comes love swells, a vulnerable and vital poetry collection that chronicles the arrival of new life and the reconfiguration of self through parenthood. Split into three parts-love, love swells, and epilogue-this collection traces the emotional, physical, and metaphysical transitions that accompany becoming a father.
Written over the span of three years, love swells is both poetic memoir and philosophical reflection-inviting readers to witness birth, loss, joy, and deep inner transformation. With humour, tenderness, and a sharp self-awareness, Orrē explores modern masculinity, healing from internalized shame, and finding spirituality in the everyday.
This book is not just about parenting-it's about choosing love, again and again, even in the chaos.
