The Wild Weathers: a gathering of love poems

Peter Trower’s poem “A Wild Girl to Walk the Weathers With” provided inspiration for the title of this collection of lovers and the weathers that try them.     And here is love: trying to portage the bog of refusal. Here is its rust and rasp and snare, its tug, its flex, its blows, its frisk, its trumpets – love driving the getaway car, love forgetting why it came, love hollering Crazy, crazy, crazy. Here is love shouting Shut Up Love Me.
