Semper Fidelis

In Semper Fidelis, a poignant collection of poetry, love comes full circle as poet E. Lee Kone beautifully expresses heartfelt emotions about love lost, love found, and love reborn. Kone begins her collection with poetry written for those who have lost a loved one through infidelity, separation, divorce, or death. She continues her journey into the heartrending moments of longing for someone to love, the invigorating heights of newly-discovered love, the bittersweet feeling after discovering unattainable love, and the joyful rebirth that accompanies new love. Kone then concludes her journey with an emotional portrayal of a wife's tragic loss of her husband during the 9/11 tragedy and a child's pain after losing both parents. Everyone longs to have a lasting relationship with someone they adore. Kone's poems each tell a separate story of their own, all while illustrating that no matter how great the loss, the heart has the ability to adapt, to heal, to trust again, and ultimately to find its way back to true love.
