Against Love Poetry

Focusing on the realities of aging love, the poems explore the lives of a husband and wife as they navigate their imperfect relationship. Rather than idealizing romance, they reflect on the authenticity and depth of ordinary love, with time serving as a witness to their journey rather than a foe. Celebrated as a New York Times Notable Book and a Newsday Favorite Book of 2001, this collection offers a poignant take on the complexities of lasting partnership.
