Loveship

Loveship looks at love from many angles-desperately seeking it, gaining it, losing it, and regaining it. There are many forms of poetry here, including fugues and centos. Like the reassembled heart on the cover by mosaicist Meryl Weber, Ed assembles many of these poems out of product names, magazine ads, lost Elizabethan words, Neruda's last questions, crossword puzzles, the names of flowers, the lifecycle of a cicada, the keys on the keyboard, a wedding announcement, the paintings of Linda Fantuzzo, and the instructions that came with an office chair. But the common thread that runs through all of them is love.
