Dreams from an Afflicted Heart

James Love, a seasoned poet, presents his seventh book of poetry, Dreams From an Afflicted Heart: Lost Loves. Since he began writing seriously in 1991, James has crafted verses that capture poignant memories from his military service, traversing the globe to exotic locales and hotspots of overseas territories still governed by Her Majesty the Queen.

From sightseeing and flying the flag to policing actions in Northern Ireland, and defending the flag on the small group of islands in the South Atlantic Ocean during the Falklands War, James's poetry is a testament to a life of duty and adventure. These experiences are interwoven with personal reflections on love and relationships-sometimes chaotic, indulgent, and ultimately doomed from the start.

Dreams From an Afflicted Heart: Lost Loves is a collection of missed opportunities and unforgettable memories, thoughts of loves lost, and the lingering presence of those never forgotten. Join James Love as he navigates the landscape of his heart, offering readers a glimpse into the depths of his soul through his evocative poetry.
