Romance Options: Love Poems for Today

Romance Options is a major new anthology of contemporary love poems, the result of an open call to Irish and Ireland-based poets to consider the realities of our romantic, emotional and intimate lives today. Contributors include both well-known and established poets as well as a large number of up-and-coming voices, reflecting the diversity of a vibrant literary scene and a society in which difference is something to be embraced and celebrated.

For editors Leeanne Quinn and Joseph Woods: "This anthology is testament to the persistence of love as a vital and dynamic theme that has not only endured but evolved to meet the complexities of 21st century relationships. Love as represented here is not blind or naïve, exclusionary or solipsistic, but complex and self-aware, all-encompassing and diverse.These poems span the full trajectory of love and romantic life, and come from writers of all ages, identities, and orientations, all of whom have one thing in common: they love, or have loved."
