Portable Kisses

This is a marvelous collection of contemporary love poetry. In tone and style it is very reminiscent of Pablo Neruda's 21 Love Poems. The poems not only treat romantic love in its myriad varieties but also capture the female passion and perspecitve in love. I have long adored the book. Indeed, it was the first collection of poems that brought poetry to life for me. In particular, "Your Hands which I love to Kiss" is my favorite poem as it depicts the strange subtleties of love. If you are at all a chronic romantic, I highly recommend this work.
