Love Songs

A collection that maps the entire terrain of the human heart in verse. Currie, a poet who carried the weight of two homelands, transforms longing, tenderness, and desire into language that feels both ancient and startlingly fresh. These are love songs in the oldest sense: poems meant to be spoken aloud in dim rooms, pressed into the hands of someone you cannot live without. The verses move from the electric uncertainty of new attraction to the quiet, hard-won intimacy of years shared together, capturing moments we all recognize but rarely can name. There is desire here, yes, but also vulnerability, loss, and the peculiar loneliness that coexists with even the deepest connection. Currie's voice is distinctive warm without being sentimental, precise without losing mystery. For anyone who has ever struggled to say what love feels like, these poems do the saying for you.
