About Love Poem to MPTF:

“All our souls are simply waiting / to be named,” Harry Northup reminds us in this brilliant and heartbreakingly lovely collection. And he does just that in poem after marvelous poem. Beautifully written, stunningly structured (his incantation is matchless), and brimming with compassion and gratitude, these poems are filled with trees and roses, observation and walking, and above all, love for his wife and the cherished details of their life together. This radiant, celebratory book, filled with wonder and awe, is a love poem to the world.

Alison Townsend,

author of Persephone in America
