Dropkick Romance by Cyrus Parker
The poet of this book is married to another poet I enjoy, Amanda Lovelace. I came across this one on Twitter, when someone tweeted it next to Ms. Lovelace's work. Logically, at least to me, it made sense to give it a whirl. I'm glad I did.
While I wouldn't say I relate nearly so much to Mr. Parker's work as I do his wife's, I did enjoy reading his poems. The book is definitely divided into two parts; one where he was with the wrong woman who clearly cheated on him, and one where he was with the right one. The poems are emotionally deep, but not as gut-wrenching as others I've read lately. Still, this is one I recommend and will definitely purchase any future books he has published.
