A Love Poetry Trilogy
A Kiss for The Worthy is Book Two of A Love Poetry Trilogy — a free-verse series by Frank Prem. Inspired by Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, this collection of outward-looking love poetry brings bold emotion and fresh perspective, in a poetic style that speaks to every reader.
Prem’s interpretations breathe new life into contemporary explorations of love, identity, and connection — through poetry that’s both expansive and deeply personal. From the phrase . . . houses and rooms are filled with perfumes . . . comes the ‘Look Inside’ poem: A House Filled (With the Sensual).
Look Inside
I watch them
in the early morning
hours
they are closed
before the sun
like
little rooms
little houses
un-obtruding
on the lawn . . .
Love Poetry in Free Verse: A Trilogy Inspired by the Greats
The first collection of the love poetry trilogy in free-verse poetry, Walk Away Silver Heart, draws on Amy Lowell ‘s wonderful work Madonna of the Evening Flowers (1919), while the third, Rescue and Redemption, derives from T.S Eliot‘s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915).
Frank Prem has used these outstanding poetic works by stellar poets to bring a new appreciation to what these poems represent, and to bring into being a mature love poetry of reflection and appreciation of what love can mean in its various guises.
This is a new kind of poetry that tells stories, draws pictures and elicits emotional responses from readers. Just as the best poetry should.
