Free Valentine’s Poetry

Today is Valentine’s Day, of course, and as the author of a collection of love poems, it just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t have something for you.

So, here are three of the love poems from Ventricle, Atrium, my gift to you. These poems haven’t been published here on the site, so if you don’t own a copy of Ventricle, Atrium, you haven’t read them.

Click here to download your Valentine’s Day poems in PDF.

I hope you’ll share these with your friends and family, and of course, your special someone today, if you have one.
