Le sue poesie e i suoi scritti critici approfondiscono profonde esperienze umane, in particolare l'impatto dei conflitti bellici. L'impegno di Stallworthy nella sua storia familiare ha ispirato poesie che collegano narrazioni personali a eventi storici più ampi.
Jon Stallworthy has here selected some of the most moving, funny, shameless, and erotic love poems in history. Representing the work of more than 190 poets, he offers a comprehensive history of love poetry through the ages.
