Love Poems: Rivers That Ignite the Skin

Have you ever experienced a passion so compelling that it simply shatters the walls around your heart and sweeps you away? Ever been consumed by a turbulent inferno of yearning and ardor? When this happens to a poet, he is simply ablaze with the rivers of desire broiling beneath his skin, scorching their way toward an exhilarating combustion.

The sultry love of this master poet is immortalized in his newest collection, Love Poems: Rivers That Ignite the Skin. Zhou's recollection of his life's journey, combined with an authoritative knowledge of Chinese poetry, makes this book a must-read for poetry lovers around the world. The poems in the book are like forty-five rivers, waiting for you to plunge into each of them.

Some of the poems included are:
• The First Second of Lovemaking
• Love Upon a Canal Bridge
• Moonlight in One’s Hand
• Golden Autumn
• Variability and Elopement
• Unknown Love

Poet Feng Zhou has published two other collections: Find Yourself: A Poet’s Journey and By the Sea: Poems of Love, Longing, and Lust. His prose is a tidal force, pulling you into a lover’s embrace and keeping you spellbound while you experience devotion at its finest: fervent, unrequited, and eternal. Zhou's view on poetry is to "create the largest and the most beautiful space possible in the fewest number of words."

So wade in and luxuriate in the rivers of passion…
