Poems for Couples (Paperback)

Poems for Couples is an anthology of fifty poems chronicling the lovers' journey from courtship through to marriage. The lovers depicted in these moving poems express their love for each other in honest, earnest and indeed ecstatic language. However, in so doing, they also reveal to the reader that love is not always a bed of roses. Problems often arise, needing correction and the attention of each one of them. As children are introduced to their love and marriage, how does the couple cope? The lovers' interactions in these poems are a true reflection of the stages undergone by a great many of us, as we delve deeper into the realities of love, marriage and life. Francis Emson Dakwa is a poet who engages in poetry related to developmental psychology, and human problems and existence. Poems for Couples is his second anthology. His academic profile dates back over four decades as an English language expert, teacher of children with special needs, and university lecturer in the field of disability and special needs education. Francis is currently a Senior Lecturer in Special Needs Education at the Great Zimbabwe University in Masvingo, Southern Zimbabwe. He is a practicing Christian, married to Shingairayi Florence and they are happy parents of five children. His next anthology will be entitled Poems for Teens.
