Love & Life: Poetic Musings

Author Philip E. Burrow, inspired by the positive reception of "Love, Stories of Love, Passion, and Hope, in early 2022 (ISBN 978-1-943007-93-6), created this collection of 40 new poems featuring various and far-reaching themes. The new themes include poems focused on Family, Inspiration, Life Experiences, Social Media, and War. A couple are included for their humor, as laughter should always be included in our lives. A few Advance Readers commented that the black cover was not the best choice, as the prevailing tone of the book is mainly one of positivity, healing, and encouragement. To which I replied, "But it got your attention." My hope is that the dark cover will not unduly influence your decision to purchase or not purchase the book. I should mention that some of those who criticized the cover generously praised several of the poems. An important aspect of the book is that it's an example of a person putting out into the universe what they truly believe and have experienced -- with no concern about profit or criticism -- but only with hopes that it will benefit someone in some way and offer a memorable reading experience. I'm not a "green behind the ears" 25-year-old rewriting from what others have said, but a senior writing from his personal life experience and observation.
