Inept Love - HR Harper

Inept Love is a collection of ruminations on the kinds of love.  Although often couched in the particulars of relationship, the poems report on the experience of being alive in the current world, a world of impermanence and confusing transitions.  Modern love is, by definition, a struggle to maintain. The world moves forward, and each movement brings us closer to an end. Courage in the face of endings is the way love is shared, and we all, no matter what our flavor of love is, are only partially courageous.  Loving, inept or not, is the engine that drives us, that reminds us of the privilege of being alive, alone and together.
