There certainly is more than one kind of love. Using traditional forms of poetry (e.g., sonnet, pantoum) and forms from the pop song (e.g., perfect rhyme, repetition), Thomas Gagnon describes different kinds of love: romance and friendshipwith men and with womenlove for a father and for a mentor, even fascination with a celebrity dancer. Beneath these relationshipslike the ancient town beneath the new cityis the relationship with the self, an especially complicated relationship that Gagnon does not shrink from exploring, whether whimsically or solemnly, or whimsically and solemnly in one poem. These poems will reverberate in your mindlike the lyrics from the latest pop song.
