Book Description

Filled with vivid imagery and lilting verse, The Pain of Loving: Heartwarming Poems is an absorbing collection of poetry on love, religion, faith, and life experiences from poet David Chimwaso. Often set in his native Africa, these poems create a rich, absorbing tapestry of sensory detail that crosses cultural boundaries. Chimwaso delves into the emotional heart of issues we face on a daily basis. Through a keen eye for detail and flowing, colorful language, his poetic verse creates a powerful emotional connection to the human heart. His incredibly diverse voice is revealed through poems such as "The Mirror of Love," a deeply moving portrayal of Jesus on the cross, to the rousing call to craft a well-lived life in "Life is How You Make It," and to the simple act of strolling down a country road and making a friend in "Along a Country Road." But even more, The Pain of Loving: Heartwarming Poems delivers a strong, heartfelt tribute to all of the emotions, thoughts, and feelings essential to the human experience. Whether it be the passion of love, the heartache of separation, or the joy of family, this collection encompasses the journey of our lifetimes.
