Diary of Love Poems is the second book of the Gramma Larson Remembers series. It is a love story that began on a bus in 1956.

"As I go to sleep and this poem closes my book to you, I will be dreaming of meeting my love Ivar, my son Paul, Jesus, and Elvis you too." Helen O. Larson was born October 24, 1910 and brought up in a small New England village named Rockland. It was subsequently destroyed in the 1920s to build the Scituate Reservoir. Forced to leave their farm, her family relocated to the village of Hope. Later she married, had two sons, and then divorced. In 1956 she met Ivar E. Larson, the driver of the Pawtuxet Valley Bus line. He drove the bus she would travel on to her house cleaning jobs. One spring morning as they were talking she expressed she really did not want to go to work. His reply was, don't go. She in turn replied she had to. Her husband had left her and she had to provide for her two sons. He mentioned his wife had left him also. And so began a love story. Helen tells her story in poems of how much she loved Ivar, how much she missed him, and how she prayed he would return, knowing all along it could never be. Included are a mixture of over 40 photographs and documents with captions. Her son, Raymond A. Wolf, has sprinkled verses of her poetry in his books: The Lost Villages of Scituate, The Scituate Reservoir, Foster, West Warwick, Pawtuxet Valley Villages, and Coventry all part of the Images of America series by Arcadia Publishing.

Love’s Diary explains what happens with love while people experience certain things in their relationships. If love had a diary of her own, this is what it would sound like. After each poem, you have the opportunity to write down your own thoughts on love, which makes this your personal diary of love. Love is a precious gift from God that we all possess in some kind of form and what we do with this gift reflects who we are. As a result, our intimate relationships will either grow or diminish. It’s important to understand that love is not determined by what occurs in our relationships. Love is always present but we may not always be present with love.

"Diary of Love" depicts the universal need for love and acceptance. A woman is lured by lust and tells her story using verse and poetry. The pages are infused with her fiery passion, tenderness and courage. When she's betrayed, her spirit spirals downward until she faces the truth and breaks away. But, believing that life without love is empty, she continues to search for her beloved.

'The New Faber Book of Love Poems' presents some of the most emotive and memorable lyric poems produced in the English language from the Renaissance to the present.

Alex Dimitrov’s third book, Love and Other Poems, is full of praise for the world we live in. Taking time as an overarching structure—specifically, the twelve months of the year—Dimitrov elevates the everyday, and speaks directly to the reader as if the poem were a phone call or a text message. From the personal to the cosmos, the moon to New York City, the speaker is convinced that love is “our best invention.” Dimitrov doesn’t resist joy, even in despair. These poems are curious about who we are as people and shamelessly interested in hope.

Why a monumental diary by an aunt and niece who published poetry together as “Michael Field”—and who were partners and lovers for decades—is one of the great unknown works of late-Victorian and early modernist literature Michael Field, the renowned late-Victorian poet, was well known to be the pseudonym of Katharine Bradley (1846–1914) and her niece, Edith Cooper (1862–1913). Less well known is that for three decades, the women privately maintained a romantic relationship and kept a double diary, sharing the page as they shared a bed and eventually producing a 9,500-page, twenty-nine-volume story of love, life, and art in the fin de siècle. In Chains of Love and Beauty, the first book about the diary, Carolyn Dever makes the case for this work as a great unknown “novel” of the nineteenth century and as a bridge between George Eliot and Virginia Woolf, Victorian marriage plot and modernist experimentation. While Bradley and Cooper remained committed to publishing poetry under a single, male pseudonym, the diary, which they entitled Works and Days and hoped would be published after their deaths, allowed them to realize literary ambitions that were unfulfilled during their lifetime. The women also used the diary, which remains largely unpublished, to negotiate their art, desires, and frustrations, as well as their relationships with contemporary literary celebrities, including Robert Browning, Oscar Wilde, William Butler Yeats, and Walter Pater. Showing for the first time why Works and Days is a great experimental work of late-Victorian and early modernist writing, one that sheds startling new light on gender, sexuality, and authorship, Dever reveals how Bradley and Cooper wrote their shared life as art, and their art as life, on pages of intimacy that they wanted to share with the world.
