Amtam.com - The Last American Valentine

The traffic, the television, the wrong city, the noise of failure can turn us cynical to the gross sap of blatant affection. This book is a fresh tackle towards love.

Come at this book quiet and ready. Come at this book with un-sarcastic amazement for that melancholy, drifting and striking feeling, whether you have it, want it, need it or wonder about it. This book is a one-of-a kind mash: a mash–up of amazing artists known and unknown with brilliant authors that I am honored to serve.

This book of romantic poems and illustrations was meant for you to read to or give to someone. If you bought it for yourself, give it to someone woo-able when you are done. This project made me notice how drawings or photographs transformed the mood of the news articles I read. It enhanced the mood like music to a film. The poems selected were chosen for spirit or a stab at being brutally sultry. It was intended to be read by all glittering chest throbbers.

This collection will live beyond Valentine's day due to the generous authors and artists who poured such quality toward this project. When I used to think of Valentines day, I'd think of the old American gangland massacre, lonely stress and hollow chocolate. This book is better than a teddy bear holding a heart."
