A collection of poetry about love, loss, heartache, and heartbreak. The poems follow a love affair from its exhilarating beginning to crushing end, and then reflect on the post-breakup stages of bargaining, denial, depression, and finally graceful acceptance. In Love & Loss & Heartache & Heartbreak: Volume One, the poet M. Leclerc explores the deepest emotions related to romance and breakups with honesty, vulnerability, and tenderness. M. Leclerc writes in a sharp, succinct, impressionistic style of iambic meter that is layered with rhyme, assonance, and alliteration. Love & Loss & Heartache & Heartbreak considers the strongest of feelings which we experience in a romance, from the first kiss to the final farewell.
