Book Description
Not Many Love Poems tells the stories of a life, the stories kept close to the heart: long friendships and shorter love affairs, close bonds of family scattered across transatlantic distances, passion and loss. Linda Chase writes of a life richly lived, with wit, candour and a fiesty energy. In grief and love, she celebrates the gft of ‘numberless, glorious, blessed days’, in which ‘ our stories give themselves away’.
