The Emma Press Anthology of Love

Diverse voices illuminate modern love's complexity.

If you've ever found love elusive, surprising, or intertwined with the digital age's quirks, you'll connect deeply with this anthology. It's like a mosaic, each poem a shard reflecting different aspects of love in today's world—away from idealized romances towards something more real, more relatable. The voices here might just redefine what love means to you in the era of Tinder and Twitter.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In The Emma Press Anthology of Love, that familiar four-letter word takes on a world of meanings. Love is transcendent and love is everyday, found equally in steamy texts and shopping lists, and the only reliable thing about it is that it’s never where you expected to find it. Building on the success of 2015’s Mildly Erotic Verse, this book explores the diversity of modern romance. Often awkward, never perfect, romantic encounters and relationships are rooted in our own contemporary world of Tinder, Twitter and TV dinners. But they are also part of an enduring tradition: the cornerstone of our common humanity. In this book, fifty-six fresh, diverse and original voices speak to what love means right here, right now, bridging the gap between Hollywood imagery and modern lived experience.
