Abstract:
In FACES OF LOVE, Trench confirms his primary love has always been the arts, especially the written word. The variety in his poetry enables the reader to visit each poem on a different emotional basis. The power of the poems from YESTERDAY’S WINE to SWITCH HITTER, to NOT SO RANDOM DREAM, to LOVE AND OTHER FORMS OF EMOTIONAL SUICIDE, show a diversity seldom seen in a collection. The author, English by birth, grew up in Pittsburgh, and lives in the northeast Georgia mountains reflecting on:
May I tell you what you’ve done …
What you’ve done for love.
