Synopsis "Love & Betrayal"
Love is something most of us think about every day. If we don't have love, we long and hope for it. If we do, we feel on top of the world. If a romance has ended, we may struggle with loneliness and even depression. This range of emotions makes up the overall experience of life, and in this debut book of poetry, Tiffany Harris explores on a personal, confessional level the all-too-human extremes of hopelessness and joy as we seek, find, and lose romance. These poems embody a dreamlike feel even as they encourage readers to conquer their fears, rely on friendship in the face of heartbreak, and keep hoping for peace as they never give up on themselves or finding the love they seek. Ultimately, Harris's poetry encompasses the challenges and triumphs that come with being human: falling in love, being betrayed by your own emotions, and dreaming of the future. Inspired by the writing of Chandra Brown, this work is imbued with the uplifting message that no matter how we feel, whether we are experiencing the highs of love or the lows of life, we are never alone.
