Oh, To Be in Love: A Collection of Poems on the Influence of Communication in Romantic Relationships

In the collection of poems, I intend to provide insight into shared understandings concerning the universality of romantic love and heartbreak across cultures and societal expectations. These poems provide variations that might be relatable and relevant to individual experiences, such as sexuality. All of which have been impacted by forms and styles of communication. The individuality and connection within each poem allow for the personal perceptions of romantic love and heartbreak to be seen. But also draw attention to factors that clarify why romantic love and heartbreak cannot be given one specific definition.
