A Lover's Anthem: A Manuscript of 60 Elegiac Love Poems Elsan H Stafford

Through the staccato energy and musical temperance of rhyming verse and iambic articulation, A Lover's Anthem speaks the inimitable language of unrequited love and romantic indestructibility. It is a collection of aesthetically sensitive and moral insights drawn from some seventy years of a life seldom in retreat but ever striving prophetically for the concept of love made perfect through honesty and truth. Elegantly written in poetic structures reminiscent of Sara Teasdale, Emily Dickinson and Robert Service, these are bittersweet poems designed to caress the heart and stimulate even the most prosaic soul. Indeed, here is an anthem to love's emotional transfiguration and a homage to every struggling dreamer who cherishes inimitable love, chivalry and the romantic ideal.
