Overview

This short collection of illustrated poetry tells the story of crazy love: the all consuming, life changing kind of love that imprints on your heart. Broken into two parts, Amour and Fou, the collection explores the power of deep romantic connections, both in their double-sided power to inspire and enliven, as well as destruct and hurt. In the end, Seidl chooses release from the cycle and grapples with self-love in her newfound freedom.

A thoroughly enjoyable and cozy read with some stunning illustrations to boot. From the moment I turned the first page, I knew I wasn't alone.."" - Gemma Marie, author of The Anatomy of Wanting ""I found in Stacie Seidl's words a profound, and courageous confession. Her relatable words touch the bottom of our hearts, disarming our delusions, and expectations. These poems are an exquisite reminder that the best of us is yet to come, and that love can be a part of it."" - Ruben Ramires, poet and illustrator ""Stacie's collection is a timeless piece centered around an age-old idea, but spun tenderly into something entirely its own.
