toujours

By r.d. eveleigh

This is not a love story. This is what love does to the soul it claims.

Toujours is a collection of eighty-one poems that moves through devotion in its many forms: the first heat of youthful longing, the inherited bonds of family and friendship, the quiet ache of loving at a distance, and the kind of love that consumes completely. It is a descent. It is an offering. It is a book written at the altar, where affection becomes consecration, and desire demands sacrifice.

Threaded throughout is fire, felt in the body as much as named on the page-the kind that warms, sanctifies, burns through bone, and learns how to wait underground.

These poems ask the reader: What have you laid on the altar in the name of love?

And what still smolders, waiting to rise?
