You Are Too Beautiful Youssef Khalim

Khalim's writing is fresh, sparkling, and daring. His tools: unafraid, dynamic, and powerful language. In the first selection, Khalim tells her, "Your eyes focus the loveliness of all creation. The beauty of your mouth invites a million kisses.... Too bad some folks may never know you, because one cannot say too many times that You Are Too beautiful." There are surprisingly beautiful gems like "Lorraine," "You Are Not Simply a 10," and "Slices" throughout. In closing, he says, "Come back and thrill me all over again, so I can love you all over again. I have to love you all over again."
