In the Name of Love: The Poems of a Hopelessly Hopeless Romantic — Matthew M Smerglia

In a world where money seems to rule over the lives of most people, In the Name of Love: The Poems of a Hopelessly Hopeless Romantic is a testament to the argument that the most important thing we can find and foster is love. This collection of poems explores the roller-coaster that is falling in and out of love, and the inner-battles that take place between insecurity and confidence. In his writing, the author showcases just how powerful the emotion of love can be, even when dealing with moments of pain and disappointment. With vulnerable and poignant writing, In the Name of Love is proof of the unarguable truth that creating memories and sharing experiences with another person is what will lead to discovering true and pure happiness.
