My single favorite of the bunch?Īnd that one is not. If the Lifetime channel started producing poetry collections. But I wanted this very much after seeing it beat out Mary Oliver, which means Love & Misadventure HAS to be impressive, right? Except this was like sappy teenage love poems. Thankfully my library had a copy because $9.99 for the kindle version and it’s only 78 pages? No thanks. Then it placed 2nd, getting beat out by J.R.R. This poetry collection was brought to my attention when it popped up as a Nominee for the Goodreads Choice Awards for Best Poetry. Her talent for translating complex emotions with astonishing simplicity has won her a cult following of devoted fans from all over the world.

Lang Leav has an unnerving ability to see inside the hearts and minds of her readers. Beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully conceived, Love and Misadventure will take you on a rollercoaster ride through an ill-fated love affair- from the initial butterflies to the soaring heights- through to the devastating plunge. Awarded a coveted Churchill Fellowship, her work expresses the intricacies of love and loss. Lang Leav is a poet and internationally exhibiting artist.
