Have Love Deirdre Fagan

Have Love is a collection of poetry beginning and ending with love, but not the same love. Beginning youthfully, the poems move through marriage, divorce, remarriage, birth, illness, and death to survival. There is romantic and familial love, and some that is not love. We go on, often reluctantly, haltingly, but we go on. Have Love reminds its readers we do not have to "mate for life" to give and receive love, nor does new love have to undo what has been before. Where there is love, there is love.
