I've been writing poetry ever since I was 8 years old. About a year ago, I decided to go through all the poems I've written over the past 20 years and put together a Collection of all the poems that capture, "The Essence of Love"... As I was getting ready for publication, I thought it would be great idea to complement the poems with beautiful illustrations. Since my 10-year old daughter is a talented upcoming Artist, I asked her to come onboard and be a part of this project. She read all the poems, imbibed herself with their meaning and the overall feeling of unconditional love, and made amazingly beautiful drawings that capture the essence of my poetry and that of love too....
Review by Laura Ann Ford for
“The Essence of Love” by Alessandrina Lerner
The Essence of Love by Alessandrina Lerner is unique collection of poetry and songs, conveying a message of love, hope and healing. These simple pieces inspire the reader to meditate on the love that bonds us together instead of the hatred and anger that tears the world apart. Adorned with beautiful artwork created by Alessandrina’s young daughter, this book would make a wonderful gift for art and poetry lovers alike. I give it four hearts… an easy and uplifting read.
