If you love words well-chosen, the enticing turn of a phrase, and the rhythm of ten artful beats to a line, you will enjoy this collection of sonnets. However, if you have ever found yourself helplessly infatuated, the prisoner of an overwhelming and delightful passion, and captive to a ravenous hunger that only those eyes, that smile, and that voice can satisfy, you will love this book! Appropriating the wisdom of C. S. Lewis from The Four Loves and Pope Benedict XVI from Deus Caritas Est, Brad Lussier helps to close the gap between Eros and Agape and offers a fresh understanding of divine love. The sonnets in this collection will transport you to another era when those smitten penned their love, fourteen lines at a time.

Reviews for How Does He Love Me?

"""These sonnets are a reminder not only of the beauty and depth of intense, selfless love, but also of what it means to be human, complete with fears, vulnerabilities, and frailties. . . . I'm sure the world would be a better, happier place if we each savored a sonnet a day, allowing our hearts to beat in empathy with the exquisite, sensitive journey of the poet in love. And what better place to start than with this charming volume?"" --Joanna Weir Ouston, from the Foreword ""Brad Lussier's passion sings in How Does He Love Me? Those lucky enough to read this book will be reacquainted with the vitality of the sonnet form and inspired by how many ways we may express love to our beloved. Each sonnet bursts with imagery, giving us bouquets of language that perfume and color the page. This book awakens the sure hope that love longs to dwell in all of us and once residing, it is ours to share."" --Danielle Dwyer, CJ, Artistic Director, Elements Theatre Company"
