Not Many Love Poems

Transatlantic poems of love, loss, and celebration, this compilation features the work of an American poet based in the United Kingdom: Linda Chase. Inspired by paintings, gardening, memory, and love itself, this poetry reflects the author's demotic style and underscores her voice: gentle, sharp, wry, honest, and curious. Written with wit and poignancy, it also presents some of Chase's most harrowing and healing work, which resulted from her personal battle with cancer.

Linda Chase studied creative writing at Bennington College in Vermont and teaches at the Arden School of Theatre in Manchester. She is the author of the collections Extended Family, These Goodbyes, and Young Men Dancing, and is the founding chairperson of the Forum for Tai Chi and Special Needs.
