To the End of Every World: Poems, Stories & Devotions on Love, Earth, and Ends Universe

Some loves are small enough to carry. This book is about the other kind.To the End of Every World is a luxury collection of romantic poetry, myth, and meditation - nearly 300 original pieces across ten sweeping movements. Here is love at every scale: the heart-stopping first glance, the passion you would end the world for, the storm on the headland, the goddess at the threshold, the forest, the tide, the galaxy leaning toward its beloved against the current of the whole fleeing universe.Inside you will find long poems and three-line haiku, one-page stories of invented gods and goddesses, aphorisms set alone on the page like jewels, and a final movement that walks love calmly to the end of the world - and through it.Designed as a true coffee table volume - over 540 pages at grand 8.25" × 11" scale, one piece to a page, wide margins, classical typography - this is a book meant to be left open, read aloud, given, and kept.For the ones who love like weather: entirely, and without apology.Ten movements: First Light - The Devouring - Storm Season - The Goddesses - The Old Gods - The Green Cathedral - Salt & Deep - The Field of Stars - The Philosopher's Heart - To the End of Every World
