A Love Poetry Trilogy
Rescue and Redemption is Book Three of A Love Poetry Trilogy — a free-verse series by Frank Prem. Inspired by T. S. Eliot in his remarkable early 20th Century poem, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, this collection of outward-looking love poetry brings bold emotion and fresh perspective, in a poetic style that resonates with every reader.
Prem’s interpretations breathe new life into contemporary exploration of themes of love in poetry, and utilise Eliot’s original phrases to inspire a contemplation of the self in the context of landscape and the wider world. From the phrase . . . let us go, through certain half-deserted streets . . .. comes the ‘Look Inside’ poem: A façade (of me and you) on the street.
Look Inside
through
descended darkness
loitering
between streetlamps
the night speaks
step
by step
in echoes
rebounded from the walls
of sundry buildings
wearing
genteel façades . . .
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 second, A Kiss for the Worthy, draws on Walt Whitman‘s classic work Leaves of Grass (1855).
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.
