on Love: Transmuting Embodied Experience into Neuroaesthetic Poetry

By Esther Ruth Kentish

on Love is a haunting and luminous debut by poet and scholar Esther Ruth Kentish, offering a visceral journey through love's most sacred and shattering terrains. More than a collection of poems, this is a lyrical archive of grief, devotion, spiritual rupture, and reclamation-told through the body, shaped by memory, and rendered with the sensorial richness of lived experience.

Written in the aftermath of intimate collapse and longing, on Love fuses poetics with philosophy, vulnerability with intellect. The speaker traverses nonlinear timelines-moving between the ecstatic and the devastated, the sacred and the violated-writing not just about love, but through its residue. Drawing from the author's acute sensitivity to emotional and bodily resonance, each poem functions as a poetic score: attuned to sound, colour, temperature, and sensation.

Kentish offers a bold voice that challenges narrative closure, asking what it means to survive love, name grief, and write oneself whole. This collection invites the reader to witness poetry as prayer, testimony, and radiant experience.
