A chapbook of love poems from Pulitzer Prize winner Yusef Komunyakaa
I Said That Love Heals From Inside: Love Poems is a small treasure featuring five decades of love poems by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa. This selection of poems captures a broad understanding of the love poetry category--there is love and the lack of it everywhere: in the bedroom and on the basketball court in the Jazz club and on the battlefield. As Komunyakaa writes, "Hard love, it's hard love."
