Cullowhee, NC: Fern Hill Books/ New Native Press/ Amazon.com, 2015. First Edition. Softcover. Signed by Thomas Rain Crowe. "This unique collection of love poems from the heart and soul of Thomas Rain Crowe that were written to various lovers over a forty year span of the author's adult life is reflective of not only his romantic passion, but his sensitivity and ability to dovetail those romantic passions with natural and supernatural imagery, sometimes surreal, sometimes stunning. At a time in American literary history when love poems seem out of vogue, Crowe's love poems come as a welcome and timely change to current factory-like fads and preferences."
