Anna Maxwell

Love, Lust & a Whole Lot of You Anna Maxwell

It seems like a lifetime ago that I started writing this book. In fact, at the time, I had no idea I would turn it into a book. I guess you could call much of this book woeful, and in a way it definitely is, but don't we all have to experience some sort of crippling heartbreak at some point in our lives in order to make us who we are? I'm not overly good at letting myself feel my own emotions, many who know me personally may describe me as a little bitter sometimes but poetry has been my way of making sense of my particularly strong emotions or feelings since I was a teenager. (Teenage me is dying at the thought that anyone might know I write poems!) This is really just a whole load of emotions I've felt over the years of one particular love that I've either tried to make poetic, or so simple it just hits a note. So here goes...my heart is on my sleeve...or in your hand, in the form of this book. I hope it makes you feel something, or maybe you resonate with one or two pieces yourself. Either way, I hope you enjoy it. All the best, Anna
