Passionfood is a feast of classic and contemporary love poems.
There are a hundred flavours in this four-course celebration of
love, passion and desire. Compiled by Staying Alive editor Neil
Astley, its menu is distinctively different from that of other
anthologies of love poetry. There are no broken hearts here.
Passionfood is a celebration of true love - love that grows into
love that lasts, love that fills every part of our lives, love that
never leaves us. Passionfood opens with a starter selection of
poems about attraction, desire and longing. Passion is the main
course: the excitement of love, being and staying in love,
including many of the greatest poems in our literature - by writers
such as Shakespeare, John Donne, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Emily
Dickinson, Yeats and Auden. For dessert, the book offers
deliciously saucy poems by leading contemporary poets. But like
love, Passionfood is a feast which doesn't have to end. The fruit
that follows dessert offers still more poetry to savour: poems
about deepening love and friendship, love that never leaves us,
poems celebrating closeness, trust and mutual understanding, poems
of joy, wisdom and shared recognition. Passionfood is a book of
positive, provocative and witty love poems for everyone whose life
has been nourished and sustained by love, mixing passion with food
for thought. It's also a book which holds out hope, and as such, a
perfect gift for the person you love, for weddings and engagements,
birthdays, anniversaries and Valentine's Day. This new edition is
beautifully presented in a quarter-bound hardback gift format.
