Summary

Of Love and Desire is a rich collection of love poems written over a lifetime, capturing its many forms: from rapture, infatuation and urgency to sorrow, heartache and disillusion. Poetry was de Bernières' first and greatest literary love, a passion evident in the musicality and emotion of his poems, which are full of stories and the truth of lived experience.

Critic reviews

"There are poems in this collection that certainly bear comparison with the great.... Here is lost love and the sadness of memory transformed into words that glitter - mined like jewels from the heart." ( Daily Mail)
