Am Am Us Poems of Love to My Wife

Poems of love from a husband to his wife. The philosopher Roger Taylor to his wife Marlene, written over a period of more than fifty years, from before they married to their Golden Wedding and then beyond. The poems celebrate an enduring love. This is not typical of a throw-away society. Yet the poems reflect the world in which they were written, using, as they do, both modern popular as well as various literary forms. They range from teenage love poems, Valentines and erotic poetry to a poem about two lovers in old age visiting Auschwitz together. They are about man and wife, and writer and muse. They were not written as high literature and certainly not for publication. They are just one small example of the rich variety of conscious beings and their relationships, and for this reason these lovers have posted them to the virtual cloud, proud not so much of the poems but of themselves. The collection says 'this is how some of us are!'
