Summary

When Love Speaks Summary

When Love Speaks: Poetry and prose for weddings, relationships and married life. by Adam O'Riordan

The perfect gift for Valentine's Day

'And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods
Makes heaven drowsy with harmony'
Love's Labour's Lost, William Shakespeare

When Love Speaks brings together the greatest writing on love and commitment - from Donne to Cole Porter, Sappho to P.G. Wodehouse, love letters of the great composers to Edwardian marriage advice. These poems and passages capture high romance and everyday happiness, feverish first love and tender union. This joyful anthology provides a range of unique and inspiring readings for a wedding or civil ceremony.

Selected by the poet Adam O'Riordan

When Love Speaks Reviews

O'Riordan's fresh eyes have turned up some beautiful bits of writing * Dazed and Confused *
The delicate introduction makes falling in love seem like the most sensible way to spend your time * Elle *
Life is nothing without literature, whether taken in snippets...or in satisfying chunks, like the contents of the new anthology When Love Speaks...plenty to choose from in this collection -- Bel Mooney * Daily Mail *
Far more, and better, than the routine Valentine's anthology...rings the bells for a garland that revives a stale genre -- Boyd Tonkin * Independent *
The collected poems and prose extracts successfully fulfill editor Adam O'Riordan's aim to capture 'some of the strangeness of the wedding day' and other aspects of our love lives. -- Chrissie Manby * Time Out *
