They say true love is eternal. But as so many lovers discover, it often ends with a trip to the lawyer’s office. Magnetic Repulsion collects 100 poems that explore the core of the entire romantic experience—from wonderful first blush, to tentative uncertainty, to the need for healing when it all fades.
The result is a compelling and necessary companion for anyone who has ever fallen in and out of love. Poet Patricia A. Hawkenson’s gift for evoking the complex, sensual essence of human relationships is on full display here.
Magnetic Repulsion: 100 Poems From Desire to Disgust is nothing less than a study guide for separating relationships.
Rev. Judy Neal, author of Another Woman at the Well, who submitted video # 6 (below) came in a close second, and will receive a surprise runner-up prize, a free iPad edition of her book. Congratulations, Judy!
Wow! Thank you, Outskirts Press! This was a FUN opportunity, and Rev. Judy Neal is very deserving of her prize. I am so glad she is to receive a special gift, as well. It was a close nail biting race, and I enjoyed the competition more because our results kept changing as our friends, family, and supporters came to vote for each of us. Thank you, again, to all involved. I’m feeling the luv! <3
Hi Patricia, You’re welcome, and congratulations. We all LOVED your video. It was very creative and very well executed. Great job! Enjoy your new iPad!
