When Angels Speak of Love
(Autor) bell hooksFeminist icon bell hooks reminds us of the full spectrum of feeling we spend in love through her inspiring collection of love poetry, with a new introduction by Cole Arthur Riley, author of Black Liturgies. Written from the heart, When Angels Speak of Love is a book of fifty love poems by bell hooks, one our most beloved public intellectuals, and author of over twenty books, including the bestselling All About Love. Poem after poem, hooks challenges our views and experiences with love--tracing the links between seduction and surrender, the intensity of desire, and the anguish of death. "Love must clean house, choose memories to keep, and memories to let go," she writes. These verses are expansive yet accessible--encompassing romantic love, to love of family, friends, or oneself. In any iteration, these poems remind us of both the beauty and possibility of love.
