Winter Love: A Book of Poems

By Judith Oppenheimer Loth

"Winter Love is a new and promising voice: haunting, passionate, empathetic, sensorial." Rosa Lane, prize-winning poet and author of Tiller North and Roots and Reckonings."Luminous, poignant, and witty..." Celeste Newbrough, poet and author of The Archetype Strikes Back.The deep pain of Winter Love is camouflaged by wit and beauty; the poet knows her craft. These exquisite tales of innocence lost are immensely moving. Carolyn Merchant, environmental historian and philosopher of nature. Winter Love dissects unworthy beloveds through such varied metaphors as the Titanic, mythology, the circus, journalism and Greek architecture. Loth writes of middle-aged women paralyzed in one-way marriages; men destined to keep chasing unavailable sirens; and lovers fused by fantasy and delusion.
