The Perseverance of Beauty

M. E. Forbes discovered poetry as a child and immediately fell in love with the art's elegance, brevity, and power. The Perseverance of Beauty is a celebration of that life-long love affair as well as an invitation to experience the joys and magic of poetry. Passionate about sharing the beauty and benefits of poetry, Forbes writes poems that are at once charming and thought-provoking; accessible, yet sometimes challenging, but never intimidating. Within these pages, the reader is encouraged to explore topics such as love, politics, and spirituality from unconventional perspectives. Written in various forms, these poems are comfortable, engaging, and unforgettable. Even readers who don't like poetry will return to this collection again and again for many years to come.
