About this Book:
|
|
This is my eighth book of poems. It deals with love and pain, letting go and surviving a lying and manipulative lover. It's about finding true love by parting with lies and abuse. This is an excerpt from the title poem.
Self-love and self-respect are cultivated
By recognizing love is not abuse,
That love is not about tolerating
Someone who's cheating and just hurting you.

Book Review:
|
|
"Alexander Shaumyan's trademark is wry or self-effacing humor, heart rending psalms of loneliness and love, and cynical commentaries on modern times. Alexander Shaumyan is a prolific poet who writes in a wide range of styles on a multitude of subjects. His work is well worth contemplating."
—Laurel Johnson, Midwest Book Review
