Love can seem raw and complex. Bittersweetly, love is kind and understanding. Love's Retrograde is a collection of poems that abstractly explores the themes of heartbreak, depression, suicide, hope, healing, and self-worth. Examined from a "love-hurts" perspective, these themes overlap into five sections: An Unknown Inspiration, Climaxing, Red Flags, Our Love Is A Choice, and A New Phase.
