On this Valentine’s Day, the title poem of Richie Hofmann’s new collection reminds us to believe in our own strength and in the power of what we feel for one another.
The Bronze Arms
Love is a memory now, you said. Most of the bronzes have been melted down and made into other bronzes, coins, weapons—
Love is a memory now, you said to me. If antiquity can survive, love can too.
But it must be forceful.
