This is a collection of love poetry inspired through interpretation of phrases in the Amy Lowell poem 'Madonna of the Evening Flowers' (A Lowell, 1919). This collection of poetry is the first of a planned series of three, with poems derived from Walt Whitman (Leaves of Grass, 1855) and T. S. Eliot (The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, 1910) also scheduled to feature in their own collections. The nature of the love poems in this collection is personal or interpersonal. Frank Prem's interpretations breathe a new life into contemporary love poetry and utilise Lowell's original work to inspire a tender immediacy and a wonderful warmth of response.
