Publisher's Synopsis
Love Emphatically is an ode to grandparents, mothers, brothers, newborns, friends and lovers January Nicole Wilson has known during her lifetime. The book comes as a reminder that love, in all its shades, is like a deep breath to the soul. With chapters like "Morning Toast," "Shake Loose My Skin," and "Our Rhapsody," this book is a refreshing reflection on the loves of Wilson's life. If you are like her, you are still learning the ropes. Love is nothing new, but something strange and beautiful--something everyone needs to know and to foster. Love Emphatically, the author's fifth book of poetry, is a formidable example of her facility with language and her sensitivity to this subject matter.
