Synopsis

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the bestselling Love & Misadventure, this updated audiobook edition features a special foreword by Lang Leav and highly personal annotations interspersed throughout. Love & Misadventure will take you on a rollercoaster ride through the highly relatable themes of love—from the initial butterflies, through to the soaring heights, and the devastating plunge. And, in the end, the message is one of hope. The journey from love to heartbreak to finding love again is personal yet universal. Lang Leav’s evocative poetry speaks to the soul of anyone who has travelled along this path. Capturing the naivety, excitement, and pure joy of finding that special someone, and the mind-numbing despair when a relationship suddenly comes to an end. Leav has an unnerving ability to see deep inside the hearts and minds of her readers. Her talent for translating complex emotions with astonishing simplicity has won her a cult following of devoted modern poetry fans from all over the world. Lang Leav is an internationally bestselling poet, novelist and artist. Lang’s words of love, loss, and self-empowerment have inspired millions across the globe to seek their own voice through the healing power of poetry. Love & Misadventure was her first poetry collection.

If what you're looking for is sheer structural and linguistic g......more
