Today’s program focuses on one of the two essential and principal themes in all of poetry, and, perhaps, in all of literature: love and its various and many articulations. The other foundational theme is death and that will be the subject of next week’s program. I discuss some of the elements of love as they might be presented in poetry and then read several poems that illustrate various aspects of what is undoubtedly the most complex of human emotions. Today’s poems are by Donna Pucciani, Elizabeth Raby, and Larry D. Thomas. I end the program with two of my own poems.
